On integral representations by totally positive ternary quadratic forms

Elise Björkholdt (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

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 on representations...

On traces of the Brandt-Eichler matrices

Juliusz Brzezinski (1998)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

We compute the numbers of locally principal ideals with given norm in a class of definite quaternion orders and the traces of the Brandt-Eichler matrices corresponding to these orders. As an application, we compute the numbers of representations of algebraic integers by the norm forms of definite quaternion orders with class number one as well as we obtain class number relations for some CM-fields.
