We relate proper isometry classes of maximal lattices in a totally definite quaternary quadratic space (V,q) with trivial discriminant to certain equivalence classes of ideals in the quaternion algebra representing the Clifford invariant of…

We extend to characteristic two recent results about isotropy of quadratic forms over function fields. In particular, we provide a characterization of function fields not only of quadratic forms but also more generally of polynomials in…

A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form $f$ is said to be $\textit{universal}$ if it represents all positive integers, and is said to be $\textit{primitively universal}$ if it represents all positive integers primitively. We also…

Let F be a perfect field. Then the diagonal quadratic form $a_iX_i^2$ over $F$ is universal over $M_2(F)$ if and only if atleast two of the $a_i$ are non-zero.

A bivariate quartic form is a homogeneous bivariate polynomial of degree four. A criterion of positivity for such a form is known. In the present paper this criterion is reformulated in terms of pseudotensorial invariants of the form.

For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on…

In this paper, we are interested in the interplay between integral ternary quadratic forms and class numbers. This is partially motivated by a question of Petersson.

In this work, we offer a historical stroll through the vast topic of binary quadratic forms. We begin with a quick review of their history and then an overview of contemporary algebraic developments on the subject.

We provide a characterization of integers represented by the positive definite binary quadratic form $ax^2+bxy+cy^2$. In order to prove the main theorem, we define the "relative conductor" of two orders in an imaginary quadratic field. Then…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of $\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$-equivalence classes of irreducible binary quartic forms with integer coefficients with vanishing $J$-invariant and whose Hessians are proportional to the…

In this paper, we consider integral and irreducible binary quartic forms whose Galois group is isomorphic to a subgroup of the dihedral group of order eight. We first show that the set of all such forms is a union of families indexed by…

We study the congruence classes attained by positive integers $D$ with a prescribed period of the continued fraction of $\sqrt D$. As an application, we refine the available results on large ranks of universal quadratic forms over real…

This paper studies two topics concerning on the orthogonal complement of one dimensional subspace with respect to a given quadratic form on a vector space over a number field. One is to determine the invariants for the isomorphism class of…

We prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over F_q[t], where F_q is a finite field of odd characteristic, determine its integral equivalence class when q is large enough with respect to…

In this paper we consider certain quaternary quadratic forms and octonary quadratic forms and by using the theory of modular forms, we find formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer by these quadratic forms.

A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form $f$ is called regular if it represents all integers that are locally represented. It is known that there are only finitely many regular ternary quadratic forms up to isometry. However, there…

The investigation of the ideal class group $Cl_K$ of an algebraic number field $K$ is one of the key subjects of inquiry in algebraic number theory since it encodes a lot of arithmetic information about K. There is a considerable amount of…

Extensive work has been done to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a bijective correspondence of abelian extensions of number fields to force an isomorphism of the base fields. However, explicit examples of correspondences…

In this article, we study necessary conditions for certain square-free integers to be congruent numbers. Our method uses divisibility properties of class numbers of related imaginary quadratic fields. We first consider positive square-free…

We consider complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero that are stable under the action of the symmetric group permuting the variables. We determine the possible representation types for these…
