A multiplicative magic square is a square array of numbers such that the product of the numbers in each row, column or main diagonal is equal to a constant. We give various methods for the construction of multiplicative magic squares with a special interest in those with small product constants.

โฆ Synopsis
results for natural fifth order magic squares from exact backtracking calculations we find 652 with m = 2, and four with m = 4. There are also 20,604 singular seventh order natural ultramagic (simultaneously regular and pandiagonal) squares with m = 2, demonstrating that the co-existence of regularity and pandiagonality permits singularity. The singular odd order examples studied are all nondiagonable.

We connect the algebraic geometry and representation theory associated to Freudenthal's magic square. We give unified geometric descriptions of several classes of orbit closures, describing their hyperplane sections and desingularizations, and interpreting them in terms of composition algebras. In p
