Natural number
57 (fifty-seven ) is thenatural number following56 and preceding58 . It is acomposite number .
57 is asemiprime ,[ 1] aBlum integer ,[ 2] and aLeyland number .[ 3]
The splitLie algebra E7+ 1 / 2 has a 57-dimensionalHeisenberg algebra as itsnilradical , and the smallest possiblehomogeneous space forE8 is also 57-dimensional.[ 4]
Although fifty-seven is not prime, it is jokingly known as theGrothendieck prime after a legend in which the mathematicianAlexander Grothendieck gave it as an example of a prime number, not realizing it was divisible by three and nineteen.[ 5] The same error was made by another famous mathematician,Hermann Weyl , in a published article.[ 6]
