Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb N$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb N$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x-1)/2+by(y-1)/2+cz(z-1)/2 +dw(w-1)/2$…

For all positive integers $k$ and $N$ we prove that there are infinitely many totally real multiquadratic fields $K$ of degree $2^k$ over $\mathbb Q$ such that each universal quadratic form over $K$ has at least $N$ variables.

It is proved that all sufficiently large integers $n$ can be represented as $$n=x_1^2+x_2^3+\cdots+x_{13}^{14},$$ where $x_1,\ldots,x_{13}$ are positive integers. This improves upon the current record with $14$ variables in place of $13$.

Let $f$ be a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form and let $r(k,f)$ be the number of representations of an integer $k$ by $f$. In this article we study the number of representations of squares by $f$. We say the genus of $f$,…

Let $f$ be a positive definite (non-classic) integral quaternary quadratic form. We say $f$ is strongly $s$-regular if it satisfies a regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this article, we prove…

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…

We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\geq 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of…

Let $k\ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a set of nonnegative integers. For a $k$-tuple of positive integers $\underline{\lambda} = (\lambda_{1}, \dots{} ,\lambda_{k})$ with $1 \le \lambda_{1} < \lambda_{2} < \dots{} < \lambda_{k}$, we…

Given a positive definite binary quadratic form f, let r(n) = |{(x,y): f(x,y)=n}| denote its representation function. In this paper we study linear correlations of these functions. For example, if r_1, ..., r_k are representation functions,…

We provide a characterization of integers represented by the positive definite binary quadratic form $ax^2+bxy+cy^2$. In order to prove the main theorem, we define the "relative conductor" of two orders in an imaginary quadratic field. Then…

A (positive definite and non-classic integral) quadratic form is called strongly $s$-regular if it satisfies a strong regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this article, we prove that for any…

In this paper we generalize the idea of "essentially unique" representations by ternary quadratic forms. We employ the Siegel formula, along with the complete classification of imaginary quadratic fields of class number less than or equal…

For any given positive integer $m$ we construct certain totally positive algebraic integers $\alpha$ of a real bi-quadratic field $K$ and obtain some necessary conditions for which $m\alpha$ can not be represented as sum of integral…

For each integer $m\ge3$, let $P_m(x)$ denote the generalized $m$-gonal number $\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. Given positive integers $a,b,c,k$ and an odd prime number $p$ with $p\nmid c$, we employ the theory of ternary…

In this paper we determine the group of rational automorphisms of binary cubic and quartic forms with integer coefficients and non-zero discriminant in terms of certain quadratic covariants of cubic and quartic forms. This allows one to…

The well-known Lagrange's four-square theorem states that any integer $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{0,1,2,...\}$ can be written as the sum of four squares. Recently, Z.-W. Sun investigated the representations of $n$ as $x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2$ with certain…

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

We use ideas from our previous work to obtain some theorems that will allow us to obtain the integer solution of a quadratic polynomial in two variables that represents a natural number

Which integers can be written as a quotient of sums of distinct powers of three? We outline our first steps toward an answer to this question, beginning with a necessary and almost sufficient condition. Then we discuss an algorithm that…

Using the circle method, we show that for a fixed positive definite integral quadratic form $A$, the expected asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a positive definite integral quadratic form $B$ by $A$ holds true,…
