It is shown that the class number for negative discriminant $D$ can be expressed in terms of the base $B$ expansions of reduced fractions $\frac{x}{|D|}$, where $B$ is an integer prime to $D$. This result is then formulated to obtain…

Let Q be a non-singular diagonal quadratic form in at least four variables. We provide upper bounds for the number of integer solutions to the equation Q=0, which lie in a box with sides of length 2B, as B tends to infinity. The estimates…

Classifications and representations are two main topics in the theory of quadratic forms. In this paper, we consider these topics of ternary quadratic forms. For a given squarefree integer $N$, first we give the classification of positive…

We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…

We fix a non-zero integer $a$ and consider arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$, with $q$ varying over a given range. We show that for certain specific values of $a$, the arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$ contain, on average, significantly…

For every positive integer k, it is shown that there exists a positive definite diagonal quaternary integral quadratic form that represents all positive integers except for precisely those which lie in k arithmetic progressions. For k=1,…

Let $F$ be a non-degenerate quadratic form on an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over the rational numbers. One is interested in counting the number of zeros of the quadratic form whose coordinates are restricted in a smoothed box of size…

In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…

We study the equidistribution of integers of the form $n= x_1^2 + \cdots + x_d^2$ under the arithmetic constraints given by $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^d$. The first step in addressing this problem is to construct modular forms whose Fourier…

We prove lower bounds of the form $\gg N/(\log N)^{3/2}$ for the number of primes up to $N$ primitively represented by a shifted positive definite integral binary quadratic form, and under the additional condition that primes are from an…

We study the theta map which assigns to a real quadratic form its theta series. We introduce two invariants reflecting whether the differential of the theta map vanishes or is degenerate. We provide examples of lattices where this…

In this paper, we study additively indecomposable quadratic forms over real biquadratic and simplest cubic fields. In particular, we show that over these fields, we can always find such a classical form in 2 variables, which differs from…

For certain primes $p$, the average digit in the expansion of $1/p$ was found to have a deviation from random behaviour related to the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ (Girstmair 1994). In this short…

We prove an upper bound for the length of an arithmetic progression represented by an irreducible integral binary quadratic form or a norm form, which depends only on the form and the progression's common difference. For quadratic forms,…

We prove that for any fixed integer \( n \geq 3 \) and nonzero integer \( m \), the proportion of integral binary forms of degree \( n \) that represent \( m \) tends to zero as the height tends to infinity. In fact, almost all such forms…
