Given a binary form $F \in \mathbb{Z}[X, Y]$, we define its value set to be $\{F(x, y) : (x, y) \in \mathbb{Z}^2\}$. Let $F, G \in \mathbb{Z}[X, Y]$ be two binary forms of degree $d \geq 3$ and with non-zero discriminant. In a series of…

Let $F, G \in \mathbb{Z}[X, Y]$ be binary forms of degree $\geq 3$, non-zero discriminant and with automorphism group isomorphic to $D_4$. If $F(\mathbb{Z}^2) = G(\mathbb{Z}^2)$, we show that $F$ and $G$ are ${\rm GL}(2,…

In this paper we generalize the result of Fouvry and Iwaniec dealing with prime values of the quadratic form $x^2 + y^2$ with one input restricted to a thin subset of the integers. We prove the same result with an arbitrary primitive…

In this article, the standard correspondence between the ideal class group of a quadratic number field and the equivalence classes of binary quadratic forms of given discriminant is generalized to any base number field of narrow class…

Let $F, G \in \mathbb{Z}[X, Y]$ be binary forms of degree $\geq 3$ with automorphism groups isomorphic to the dihedral group of cardinality $6$ or $12$. We characterize exactly when $F$ and $G$ have the same value set, i.e. $F(\mathbb{Z}^2)…

Every quadratic form represents 0; therefore, if we take any number of quadratic forms and ask which integers are simultaneously represented by all members of the collection, we are guaranteed a nonempty set. But when is that set more than…

A quadratic form f is said to have semigroup property if its values at points of the integer lattice form a semigroup under multiplication. A problem of V. Arnold is to describe all binary integer quadratic forms with semigroup property. If…

There are many specific results, spread over the literature, regarding the dualisation of quadrics in projective spaces and quadratic forms on vector spaces. In the present work we aim at generalising and unifying some of these. We start…

Let A be a finite set of integers. For a polynomial f(x_1,...,x_n) with integer coefficients, let f(A) = {f(a_1,...,a_n) : a_1,...,a_n \in A}. In this paper it is proved that for every pair of normalized binary linear forms f(x,y)=u_1x+v_1y…

If a multiplicative function $f$ is commutable with a quadratic form $x^2+xy+y^2$, i.e., \[ f(x^2+xy+y^2) = f(x)^2 + f(x)\,f(y) + f(y)^2, \] then $f$ is the identity function. In other hand, if $f$ is commutable with a quadratic form…

We prove that for any countable set $A$ of real numbers, the set of binary indefinite quadratic forms $Q$ such that the closure of $Q(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ is disjoint from $A$ has full Hausdorff dimension.

Let K be a field of any characteristic and let R be an algebra generated by two elements satisfying quadratic equations. Then R is a homomorphic image of F=K<x,y | x^2+ax+b=0,y^2+cy+d=0> for suitable a,b,c,d in K. We establish that F can be…

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…

A positive definite and integral quadratic form $f$ is called irrecoverable if there is a quadratic form $F$ such that it represents all proper subforms of $f$, whereas it does not represent $f$ itself. In this case, $F$ is called an…

A (positive definite integral) quadratic form is called almost 2-universal if it represents all (positive definite integral) binary quadratic forms except those in only finitely many equivalence classes. Oh [7] determined all almost…

Positive and negative quadratic forms are well known and widely used. They are multivariate homogeneous polynomials of degree two taking positive or negative values respectively for any values of their arguments not all zero. In the present…

A pair of symmetric bilinear forms A and B determine a binary form $f(x,y) = disc(Ax-By)$. We prove that the question of whether a given binary form can be written in this way as a discriminant form generically satisfies a local-global…

In this paper we prove a correspondence between a canonical degree six covariant of binary quartic forms $F$ and a cubic covariant of a pair of ternary quadratic forms $(f_A, f_B)$. In the process we obtain a canonical way to diagonalize a…

In this paper, we prove that a binary definite quadratic form over F_q[t], where q is odd, is completely determined up to equivalence by the polynomials it represents up to degree 3m-2, where m is the degree of its discriminant. We also…

For a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, we define the notion of $\Gamma$-equivalence on binary quadratic forms which is the same as proper equivalence if $\Gamma = \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. We develop a theory on $\Gamma$-equivalence such as…
