Quadratic Forms Representing All Odd Positive Integers
We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list of 23 candidates, and proving that 19 of those represent all positive odds. (Jagy later dealt with a 20th candidate.) Assuming that the remaining three forms represent all positive odds, we prove ...
متن کاملApplications 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.
متن کاملQuadratic forms that represent almost the same primes
Jagy and Kaplansky exhibited a table of 68 pairs of positive definite binary quadratic forms that represent the same odd primes and conjectured that their list is complete outside of “trivial” pairs. In this article, we confirm their conjecture, and in fact find all pairs of such forms that represent the same primes outside of a finite set.
متن کاملRational Representations of Primes by Binary Quadratic Forms
Let q be a positive squarefree integer. A prime p is said to be q-admissible if the equation p = u2 + qv2 has rational solutions u, v. Equivalently, p is q-admissible if there is a positive integer k such that pk2 ∈ N , where N is the set of norms of algebraic integers in Q( √ −q). Let k(q) denote the smallest positive integer k such that pk2 ∈ N for all q-admissible primes p. It is shown that ...
متن کاملBinary Quadratic Forms , Genus Theory , and Primes of the Form p = x 2 + ny 2
In this paper, we will develop the theory of binary quadratic forms and elementary genus theory, which together give an interesting and surprisingly powerful elementary technique in algebraic number theory. This is all motivated by a problem in number theory that dates back at least to Fermat: for a given positive integer n, characterizing all the primes which can be written p = x + ny for some...
