Let H(N) denote the Hurwitz class number. It is known that if $p$ is a prime, then {equation*} \sum_{|r|<2\sqrt p}H(4p-r^2) = 2p. {equation*} In this paper, we investigate the behavior of this sum with the additional condition $r\equiv…

We prove an asymptotic formula for primes of the shape $f(a,b^2)$ with $a,b$ integers and of the shape $f(a,p^2)$ with $p$ prime. Here $f$ is a binary quadratic form with integer coefficients, irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and has no local…

We consider sums of Hurwitz class numbers of the type $\sum_{t \equiv m \pmod{M}}H(4p-t^2)$, where $M$ is composite. For $M=6$ and $8$, we show that these sums can be expressed in terms of coefficients of CM cusp forms. This leads to…

In this paper, we show that if $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ is prime, then $4F_p$ admits a representation of the form $u^2-pv^2$ for some integers $u$ and $v$, where $F_n$ is the $n$th Fibonacci number. We prove a similar result when $p\equiv -1\pmod…
