In this paper, we construct infinitely many quadruples of real quadratic fields whose class numbers are all divisible by $3$. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result towards the divisibility of the class numbers of certain…
We present a survey of recent results, scattered in a series of papers that appeared during past five years, whose common denominator is the use of cubic relations in various algebraic structures. Cubic (or ternary) relations can represent…
The simultaneous invariants of 2, 3, 4 and 5 ternary quadratic forms under the group $\SL(3, {\Bbb C})$ were given by several authors (P. Gordan, C. Ciamberlini, H.W. Turnbull, J.A Todd), utilizing the symbolic method. Using the Jordan…
We examine a bias towards the zero residue class for the integers represented by binary quadratic forms. In many cases, we are able to prove that the bias comes from a secondary term in the associated asymptotic expansion (unlike…
Fix a quadratic order over the ring of integers. An embedding of the quadratic order into a quaternionic order naturally gives an integral binary hermitian form over the quadratic order. We show that, in certain cases, this correspondence…
This paper extends previous work on linear correlations of representation functions of positive definite binary quadratic forms to allow indefinite forms.
We construct a family of ideals representing ideal classes of order 2 in quadratic number fields and show that relations between their ideal classes are governed by certain cyclic quartic extensions of the rationals.
We provide conditions on the coefficients of a ternary cubic form that determine its Waring rank.
Using modular forms we determine formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1$, $2$, $3$ or $6$.
The classical theorems relating integral binary quadratic forms and ideal classes of quadratic orders have been of tremendous importance in mathematics, and many authors have given extensions of these theorems to rings other than the…
We state a conjectural relationship between the fermionic form (G. Hatayama, A. Kuniba, M. Okado, T. Takagi, Y. Yamada qa/9812022) and the Betti numbers of a Grassmannian over a preprojective algebra or, equivalently, of a lagrangian quiver…
We take a categorical approach to describe ternary derivations and ternary automorphisms of triangular algebras. New classes of automorphisms and derivations of triangular algebras are also introduced and studied.
In this work we study, in greater detail than before, J.H. Conway's topographs for integral binary quadratic forms. These are trees in the plane with regions labeled by integers following a simple pattern. Each topograph can display the…
Recently the new q-Euler numbers are defined. In this paper we derive the the Kummer type congruence related to q-Euler numbers and we introduce some interesting formulae related to these q-Euler numbers.
We consider here a particular quadratic equation linking two elements of a C-Algebra. By analysing powers of the unknowns, it appears a double sequence of polynomials related to classical Bernoulli polynomials. We get the generating…
In this paper we use the theory of modular forms to find formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by certain class of quadratic forms in eight variables, viz., forms of the form $a_1x_1^2 + a_2 x_2^2 + a_3 x_3^2 +…
We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list of 23 candidates, and proving that 19…
In this article, we derive a congruence property of particular sum rules involving prime numbers. The resulting expression involves Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, for which we obtain, as a consequence, a general congruence relation as…
In this paper we generalize the idea of "essentially unique" representations by ternary quadratic forms. We employ the Siegel formula, along with the complete classification of imaginary quadratic fields of class number less than or equal…
Gap balancing numbers are a certain generalization of balancing and cobalancing numbers that arise from studying the equation ${T(L)+T(B)=T(m)}$ where $T(i)$ is the $i$th triangular number. In this paper, we survey early results, attempt to…
