Quadratic forms representing all integers coprime to 3

Number Theory 2016-09-22 v1

Abstract

Following Bhargava and Hanke's celebrated 290-theorem, we prove a universality theorem for all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive integers coprime to 33. In particular, if a positive-definite quadratic form represents all positive integers coprime to 33 and 290\leq 290, then it represents all positive integers coprime to 33. We use similar methods to those used by Rouse to prove (assuming GRH) that a positive-definite quadratic form representing every odd integer between 11 and 451451 represents all positive odd integers.
