Abstract

A rational Diophantine m-tuple is a set of m non zero rationals such that the product of any two of them increased by 1 is a perfect square. The first rational Diophantine quadruple was found by Diophantus, while Euler proved that there are infinitely many rational Diophantine quintuples. In 1999, Gibbs found the first example of a rational Diophantine sextuple. In this paper, we prove that there exist infinitely many rational Diophantine sextuples.
