A number field $k$ admits a binary integral quadratic form which represents all integers locally but not globally if and only if the class number of $k$ is bigger than one. In this case, there are only finitely many classes of such binary…

In this paper, we are interested in the interplay between integral ternary quadratic forms and class numbers. This is partially motivated by a question of Petersson.

Let $f$ be a positive definite ternary quadratic form. We assume that $f$ is non-classic integral, that is, the norm ideal of $f$ is $\z$. We say $f$ is {\it strongly $s$-regular } if the number of representations of squares of integers by…

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…

A representation field for a non-maximal order $\Ha$ in a central simple algebra is a subfield of the spinor class field of maximal orders which determines the set of spinor genera of maximal orders containing a copy of $\Ha$. Not every…

In this work we explore the structure of Clifford algebras and the representations of the algebraic spinors in quantum information theory. Initially we present an general formulation through elements of left minimal ideals in tensor…

We pursue an analogy of the Schur-Weyl reciprocity for the spinor groups and pick up the irreducible spin representations in the tensor space $\Delta \textstyle{\bigotimes \bigotimes^k V}$. Here $\Delta$ is the fundamental representation of…

We compute the spinor class field for a genus of orders, in a central simple algebra of higher dimension, that are intersections of two maximal orders. In particular, we compute the number of spinor genera in a genus of such orders, as the…

Spinor representation of group GL(4,R) on special spinor space is developed. Representation space has a structure of the fiber space with the space of diagonal metricses as the base and standard spinor space as typical fiber. Non-isometric…

This paper is meant to be an informative introduction to spinor representations of Clifford algebras. In this paper we will have a look at Clifford algebras and the octonion algebra. We begin the paper looking at the quaternion algebra…

We show that all spin groups of non-definite, quinary quadratic forms over a field with characteristic 0 can be represented as 2 by 2 matrices with entries in an associated quaternion algebra. Over local and global fields, we further study…

Let $D$ be a totally definite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field $F$, and $\mathcal{O}$ be an $O_F$-order (of full rank) in $D$. The type number $t(\mathcal{O})$ is an important arithmetic invariant of $\mathcal{O}$ that…

In this paper, we find formulas for the number of representations of certain diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1,2,3,4$ and $6$. We obtain these formulas by constructing explicit bases of the space of modular forms of…

We give a presentation of the centralizer algebras for tensor products of spinor representations of quantum groups via generators and relations. In the even-dimensional case, this can be described in terms of non-standard q-deformations of…

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…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{k}+p_{2}^{2}+p_{3}^{2}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the ones…

Some facts about 4-spinors listed and discussed. None, well perhaps some, of the work is original. However, locating formulas in other places has proved a time-consuming process in which one must always worry that the formulas found in any…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…

We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{3}+p_{2}^{3}+p_{3}^{3}+p_{4}^{3}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the the ones…

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…
