Abstract

Modular-ring row structures are developed for squares. In particular, the row structures of even squares within the modular ring Z_6 are analysed. This structure is shown to be linked via generalized pentagonal numbers to that of the odd squares. When 3 \mid N, the link is via the triangular numbers. Equations could thus be developed for the rows of those primes that equal a sum of squares. Since the results are general they can be used to study in some depth those systems that have squares as a dominant feature.
