57 (fifty-seven) is the natural number following 56 and preceding 58. It is a composite number.

Contents

In mathematics

57 is semiprime [1] a Blum integer, [2] and a Leyland number. [3]

The split Lie algebra E7+1/2 has a 57-dimensional Heisenberg algebra as its nilradical, and the smallest possible homogeneous space for E8 is also 57-dimensional. [4]

Although fifty-seven is not prime, it is jokingly known as the Grothendieck prime after a legend according to which the mathematician Alexander Grothendieck supposedly gave it as an example of a particular prime number. [5] The joke is that he is famous for working abstractly, without concrete examples. However, while the veracity of this legend about Grothendieck is unclear, it is known that this very error was committed by another famous mathematician Hermann Weyl in a published article. [6]

In mathematics, a semiprime is a natural number that is the product of exactly two prime numbers. The two primes in the product may equal each other, so the semiprimes include the squares of prime numbers. Because there are infinitely many prime numbers, there are also infinitely many semiprimes. Semiprimes are also called biprimes, since they include two primes, or second numbers, by analogy with how "prime" means "first".
