Parametrization of Pythagorean Triples by Polynomials #
This directory sets up source-backed Lean statements for results from Frisch and Vaserstein's paper "Parametrization of Pythagorean triples by a single triple of polynomials". Externally cited or explanatory source claims are recorded separately from the main parametrization proofs.

Basic: shared definitions of Pythagorean triples, integer-valued polynomials, and parametrization predicates.SourceLemmas: source-level proof handoff lemmas for theT(a,b,c)map, parity conditions, positive parameters, and four-square substitutions.Obstructions: no single integer-coefficient polynomial triple parametrizes all Pythagorean triples.IntegerValued: the explicit four-variable integer-valued parametrization of all Pythagorean triples.Positive: the positive-triple parametrization and the 16-parameter unrestricted variant.Explanatory: reusable finite-family parametrization statements, the cited finite-cover theorem, and the integer-valued factorization discussion.
