A SIMPLE GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION INVOLVING ULTRARADICALS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2011
Abstract
We give a new type of geometric construction that allows for the construction of families of quintic irrationalities, and is quite rich in algebraic properties. This construction may be considered as our first attempt at characterizing points constructible with compass and twice-notched ruler, a problem that seems to have been known in some form for more than two millennia.
