Abstract

The notion of $\theta $-congruent numbers is a generalisation of congruent numbers where one considers triangles with an angle $\theta $ such that $\cos \theta $ is a rational number. In this paper we discuss a criterion for a natural number to be $\theta $-congruent over certain real number fields.
