Theorem of the cube Theorem of the cube In mathematics, the theorem of the cube is a condition for a line bundle over a product of three complete varieties to be trivial. It was a principle discovered, in the context of linear equivalence, by the Italian school of algebraic geometry. The final version of the theorem of the cube was first published by , who credited it to André Weil. A discussion of the history has been given by . A treatment by means of sheaf cohomology, and description in terms of the Picard functor, was given by . The theorem states that for
Square root of 5 of a side located on one the faces containing that vertex and opposite to it, are in the ratio This follows from the geometrical relationships between a cube and the quantities (edge-to-face-diagonal ratio, or distance between opposite edges), (edge-to-cube-diagonal ratio) and (the relationship just mentioned above). A rectangle with side proportions 1: is called a "root-five rectangle" and is part of the series of root rectangles, a subset of dynamic rectangles, which are based on and successively constructed using the diagonal of the previous root rectangle, starting from a square. A root-5 rectangle is particularly notable in that it can
