Abstract
Let be a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form and let be the number of representations of an integer by . In this article we study the number of representations of squares by . We say the genus of , denoted by , is indistinguishable by squares if for any integer , for any quadratic form . We find some non trivial genera of ternary quadratic forms which are indistinguishable by squares. We also give some relation between indistinguishable genera by squares and the conjecture given by Cooper and Lam, and we resolve their conjecture completely.
