In mathematics
32 is the fifth power of two (). It is the totient summatory function over the first 10 integers,[1] and the smallest number with exactly 7 solutions for .
The product between neighbor numbers of 23, the dual permutation of the digits of 32 in decimal, is equal to the sum of the first 32 integers: .[2]
32 is the ninth 10-happy number, while 23 is the sixth.[3] Their sum is 55, which is the tenth triangular number,[2] while their difference is .
32 is also a Leyland number expressible in the form , where:
On the other hand, a regular 32-sided icosidodecagon contains distinct symmetries.[5][lower-alpha 1]
There are collectively 32 uniform colorings to the 11 regular and semiregular tilings.[6]
In space groups, there are 32 three-dimensional crystallographic point groups and 32 five-dimensional crystal families.[7][8]
The maximum determinant in a 7 by 7 matrix of only zeroes and ones is 32.[9]
In thirty-two dimensions, there are at least 1,160,000,000 even unimodular lattices (of determinants 1 or −1);[10] which is a marked increase from the twenty-four such Niemeier lattices that exists in twenty-four dimensions, or the single lattice in eight dimensions (these lattices only exist for dimensions ). Furthermore, the 32nd dimension is the first dimension that holds non-critical even unimodular lattices that do not interact with a Gaussian potential function of the form of root and .[11]
