Problem Statement
Determine all polynomials with integral coefficients such that if are the sides of a right-angled triangle, then are also the sides of a right-angled triangle. (Sides of a triangle are necessarily positive. Note that it's not necessary for the order of sides to be preserved; if is the hypotenuse of the first triangle, it's not necessary that is the hypotenuse of the second triangle, and similar with the others.)
