Simon Tatham<p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mathematics</span></a> question: is there any good collection of all the knowledge about Conway's "nimbers"? I've found any number of beginners' explanations, but nothing further.</p><p>(I mean the thing that makes a field of characteristic 2 out of ℕ₀, with addition corresponding to bitwise XOR, and multiplication a really weird inductively defined thing, such that every initial segment of ℕ₀ of size 2^{2^n} forms a subfield.)</p><p>I was idly playing around with them recently – wrote a tiny Python thing to implement their multiplication. I happened across the fact that in each of the first nine of those finite subfields, the _largest_ integer in that subfield – 2^{2^n}-1 – generates its whole multiplicative group. That is, 3 has order 3, 15 has order 15, 255 has order 255, … up to and including 2^512−1.</p><p>Is that true for all n? I'm curious to know if this is a known result, or at least a known conjecture. Seems to me it would be pretty neat if it were true, because it would give you a "canonical" choice of primitive polynomial over GF(2) of degree 2^n – just take the min poly of the corresponding nimber.</p><p>By my calculations, the first few of those polynomials (in the usual binary representation where 2^n stands in for x^n) are 3, 7, 25, 425, 101021, 7158330089, 27971386341277386797. But OEIS doesn't know that sequence, so maybe this isn't known?</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>math</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maths</span></a></p>

The idea is to start with a set of triangles connected by their sides, and iteratively selecting the larger side in the set and dividing it using a simple definite rule (I don't use randomness). Stop when all sides are less than a given value. Using the research pointed out in my previous post, each triangle is assigned a colour just based on its shape.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/triangle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>triangle</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/geometry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geometry</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maths</span></a></p>
