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 error was committed by another famous mathematician Hermann Weyl in a published article.[6]
