O minimu forem kvadratických
Harbater, Hartmann and Krashen obtained in 2015 a criterion for the existence of rational points on projective (or principal) homogeneous varieties for rational connected algebraic groups defined over function fields of normal curves over a complete discrete valuation ring in terms of completions of local rings at special points. This was obtained by a reduction via Artin approximation to a related patching problem solved by the same authors in 2009. In the special case of projective quadrics, we...
Let be a totally real algebraic number field whose ring of integers is a principal ideal domain. Let be a totally definite ternary quadratic form with coefficients in . We shall study representations of totally positive elements by . We prove a quantitative formula relating the number of representations of by different classes in the genus of to the class number of , where is a constant depending only on . We give an algebraic proof of a classical result of H. Maass on representations...
