In complex vector spaces maximal sets of equiangular lines, known as SICs, are related to real quadratic number fields in a dimension dependent way. If the dimension is of the form n^2+3, the base field has a fundamental unit of negative norm, and there exists a SIC with anti-unitary symmetry. We give eight examples of exact solutions of this kind, for which we have endeavoured to make them as simple as we can---as a belated reply to the referee of an earlier publication, who claimed that our exact solution in dimension 28 was too complicated to be fit to print. An interesting feature of the simplified solutions is that the components of the fiducial vectors largely consist of algebraic units.

Using the elements of order four in the narrow ideal class group, we construct generators of the maximal elementary $2$-class group of real quadratic number fields with even discriminant which is a sum of two squares and with fundamental unit of positive norm. We then give a characterization of when two of these generators are equal in the narrow sense in terms of norms of Gaussian integers.

The binary quadratic diophantine equationis of interest in the class number problem for real quadratic number fields and was studied in recent years by several authors (see [4], [5], [2] and the literature cited there).

Abstract Higher-dimensional binary shifts of number-theoretic origin with positive topological entropy are considered. We are particularly interested in analysing their symmetries and extended symmetries. They form groups, known as the topological centralizer and normalizer of the shift dynamical system, which are natural topological invariants. Here, our focus is on shift spaces with trivial centralizers, but large normalizers. In particular, we discuss several systems where the normalizer is an infinite extension of the centralizer, including the visible lattice points and the k-free integers in some real quadratic number fields.
