Positive rationals appear as squared edge lengths of regular d-simplices in Q^n precisely when the codimension n-d is at least 3 or when they satisfy square-class, norm-group, or Hilbert-symbol conditions for codimensions 0-2.

Squared edge lengths of regular simplices with rational vertices
Positive rationals appear as squared edge lengths of regular d-simplices in Q^n precisely when the codimension n-d is at least 3 or when they satisfy square-class, norm-group, or Hilbert-symbol conditions for codimensions 0-2.
