Sum of Cubes is Square of Sum

Abstract

Inspired by the fact that the sum of the cubes of the first n naturals is equal to the square of their sum, we explore, for each n, the Diophantine equation representing all non-trivial sets of n integers with this property. We find definite answers to the standard question of infinitude of the solutions as well as several other surprising results.
