Binary Linear Forms as Sums of Two Squares
We revisit recent work of Heath-Brown on the average order of the quantity r(L1(x)) · · · r(L4(x)), for suitable binary linear forms L1, . . . , L4, as x = (x1, x2) ranges over quite general regions in Z. In addition to improving the error term in Heath-Brown’s estimate we generalise his result to cover a wider class of linear forms.
متن کاملBinary Forms as Sums of Two Squares and Châtelet Surfaces
— The representation of integral binary forms as sums of two squares is discussed and applied to establish the Manin conjecture for certain Châtelet surfaces over Q.
متن کاملSums of Squares of Linear Forms
Let k be a real field. We show that every non-negative homogeneous quadratic polynomial f(x1, . . . , xn) with coefficients in the polynomial ring k[t] is a sum of 2n · τ(k) squares of linear forms, where τ(k) is the supremum of the levels of the finite non-real field extensions of k. From this result we deduce bounds for the Pythagoras numbers of affine curves over fields, and of excellent two...
متن کاملMoment Sums Associated with Binary Linear Forms
A transparent argument is used to study the structure of the set of numbers representable as ax + by, with x, y ≥ 0. Moment sums of representable numbers are evaluated in terms of Bernoulli numbers.
متن کاملSums of squares of linear forms: the quaternions approach
Let A = k[y] be the polynomial ring in one single variable y over a field k. We discuss the number of squares needed to represent sums of squares of linear forms with coefficients in the ring A. We use quaternions to obtain bounds when the Pythagoras number of A is ≤ 4. This provides bounds for the Pythagoras number of algebraic curves and algebroid surfaces over k.
