By combining well-known techniques from both noncommutative algebra and computational commutative algebra, we observe that an algorithmic approach can be applied to the study of irreducible representations of finitely presented algebras. In…
The multi-valued quantum $j$-invariant in positive characteristic is studied at quadratic elements. For every quadratic $f$, an explicit expression for each of the values of $j^{\rm qt}(f)$ is given as a limit of rational functions of $f$.…
We identify and analyse obstructions to factorisation of integer matrices into products $N^T N$ or $N^2$ of matrices with rational or integer entries. The obstructions arise as quadratic forms with integer coefficients and raise the…
In this paper, we derive the quadratic formula as a consequence of constructively proving the existence of standard and factored forms for general form real quadratic functions. Emphasis is put on connections to graphing of corresponding…
Given a nonzero integer $d$, we know by Hermite's Theorem that there exist only finitely many cubic number fields of discriminant $d$. However, it can happen that two non-isomorphic cubic fields have the same discriminant. It is thus…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…
Lagrange's Four Squares Theorem states that any positive integer can be expressed as the sum of four integer squares. We investigate the analogous question over Quaternion rings, focusing on squares of elements of Quaternion rings with…
We show that if a universal quadratic form exists over an infinite degree, totally real extension of the field of rationals $\mathbb{Q}$, then the set of totally positive integers in the extension does not have the Northcott property. In…
The three dimensional superintegrable systems with quadratic integrals of motion have five functionally independent integrals, one among them is the Hamiltonian. Kalnins, Kress and Miller have proved that in the case of non degenerate…
Two integral quadratic unit forms are called strongly Gram congruent if their upper triangular Gram matrices are Z-congruent. The paper gives a combinatorial strong Gram invariant for those unit forms that are non-negative of Dynkin type A,…
We investigate the probability that a random quadratic form in ${\mathbb{Z}}[x_1,...,x_n]$ has a totally isotropic subspace of a given dimension. We show that this global probability is a product of local probabilities. Our main result…
We study arithmetic constraints arising from the three faces meeting along the space diagonal of a rectangular cuboid. Using a propagation mechanism along this diagonal, based on the appearance of a minimal odd prime in certain triangular…
Let $-d$ be a a negative discriminant and let $T$ vary over a set of representatives of the integral equivalence classes of integral binary quadratic forms of discriminant $-d$. We prove an asymptotic formula for $d \to \infty$ for the…
For a (positive definite and integral) quadratic form $f$, a quadratic form is said to be {\it an isolation of $f$ from its proper subforms} if it represents all proper subforms of $f$, but not $f$ itself. It was proved that the minimal…
In this note we show that for a given irreducible binary quadratic form $f(x,y)$ with integer coefficients, whenever we have $f(x,y) = f(u,v)$ for integers $x,y,u,v$, there exists a rational automorphism of $f$ which sends $(x,y)$ to…
We prove a spectral summation formula for the product of four Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight cusp forms in Kohnen's subspace. The other side of the formula involves certain generalized class numbers of pairs of quadratic forms…

Given a positive definite binary quadratic form f, let r(n) = |{(x,y): f(x,y)=n}| denote its representation function. In this paper we study linear correlations of these functions. For example, if r_1, ..., r_k are representation functions,…
