Abstract
In [1] a proof was given of Fermat’s Two-Square Theorem using the group theoretical structure of the classical modular group. This has been extended in many directions and to other square properties in general rings. In particular in [2] a two-square theorem was given for the Gaussian integers in terms of when i is a quadratic residue. In this note we examine and survey this technique and the corresponding results and extensions.
