Representation of Quadratic Forms by Integral Quadratic Forms

Applications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms

In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.

Multiplicative Properties of Integral Binary Quadratic Forms

In this paper, the integral binary quadratic forms for which the set of represented values is closed under k-fold products, for even positive integers k, will be characterized. This property will be seen to distinguish the elements of odd order in the form class group of a fixed discriminant. Further, it will be shown that this closure under k-fold products can always be expressed by a klinear ...

Normal Forms for Automorphisms of Universal Coxeter Groups and Palindromic Automorphisms of Free Groups

We explicitly construct Markov languages of normal forms for the groups in the title of the paper and closely related groups. A Markov language of normal forms is a choice of “preferred spelling” for each group element such that the collection of choices is particularly simple in a language theoretic sense.

Representation by Integral Quadratic Forms - a Survey

An integral symmetric matrix S = (sij) ∈ M sym m (Z) with sii ∈ 2Z gives rise to an integral quadratic form q(x) = 12 xSx on Z. If S is positive definite, the number r(q, t) of solutions x ∈ Z of the equation q(x) = t is finite, and it is one of the classical tasks of number theory to study the qualitative question which numbers t are represented by q or the quantitative problem to determine th...
