Abstract
For two positive definite integral ternary quadratic forms and and a positive integer , if is represented by and , then the pair is called a representable pair by scaling . The set of all representable pairs in is called a genus-correspondence. Jagy conjectured that if is square free and the number of spinor genera in the genus of equals to the number of spinor genera in the genus of , then such a genus-correspondence respects spinor genus in the sense that for any representable pairs by scaling , if and only if . In this article, we show that by giving a counter example, Jagy's conjecture does not hold. Furthermore, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a genus-correspondence to respect spinor genus.
