Dice Relabeling Using Square-Sided Dice

Abstract

We continue recent work of Chao, Gabel, Larson, and Nasr in using cyclotomic polynomials for dice relabeling. In their work, one idea they expand on is finding pairs of dice with different number of sides which maintain the sum frequency of two normal dice. We continue this idea in this paper by studying pairs of dice where the number of sides of each is a different perfect square (which we call "square-sided" dice). We additionally provide conjectures offering ideas for future exploration.
