The Least Number with Prescribed Legendre Symbols

Number Theory 2016-11-01 v2

Abstract

In this article we estimate the number of integers up to XX which can be represented by a positive-definite, binary integral quadratic form of discriminant which is small relative to XX. This follows from understanding the vector of signs when computing the Legendre symbol of small integers nn at multiple primes.
