Abstract: Euler showed that there can be no more than three integer squares in arithmetic progression. In quadratic number fields, Xarles has shown that there can be arithmetic progressions of five squares, but not of six. Here, we prove that there are no cubic number fields which contain five squares in arithmetic progression.

Review text

In the paper, it is proved that there are no cubic number fields which contain five squares in an arithmetic progression. This research continues the results of L. Euler and X. Xarles, who studied the cases for three, five and six squares in an arithmetic progression.
