From the Diophantine equation ab − (a + b + c) = k2 − 1 to LMFDB Curve 1576.a1 and a Degree-Two del Pezzo Surface

This preprint/report explores the Diophantine condition where twice the area minus the perimeter of a right-angled triangle is one less than a perfect square (2K - U = k² - 1). What begins as an elementary numerical observation on Pythagorean triples naturally unfolds into a rigorous study of algebraic surfaces!

Abstract

This preprint/report explores the Diophantine condition where twice the area minus the perimeter of a right-angled triangle is one less than a perfect square (2K - U = k² - 1). What begins as an elementary numerical observation on Pythagorean triples naturally unfolds into a rigorous study of algebraic surfaces!
