Let K be a totally real algebraic number field whose ring of integers R is a principal ideal domain. Let f ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) be a totally definite ternary quadratic form with coefficients in R . We shall study representations of totally positive elements N R by f . We prove a quantitative formula relating the number of representations of N by different classes in the genus of f to the class number of R [ - c f N ] , where c f R is a constant depending only on f . We give an algebraic proof of a classical result of H. Maass...
