Sums of Squares Coprime in Pairs

Jörg Brüdern (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Asymptotic formulae are provided for the number of representations of a natural number as the sum of four and of three squares that are pairwise coprime.

Sums of squares in rings of integers with 2 inverted

Gaël Collinet (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove that in a ring of S-integers containing 1/2, any totally positive element is a sum of five squares. We also exhibit examples of such rings where some totally positive elements cannot be written as the sum of four squares.

Ternary quadratic forms ax² + by² + cz² representing all positive integers 8k + 4

Kenneth S. Williams (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Under the assumption that the ternary form x² + 2y² + 5z² + xz represents all odd positive integers, we prove that a ternary quadratic form ax² + by² + cz² (a,b,c ∈ ℕ) represents all positive integers n ≡ 4(mod 8) if and only if it represents the eight integers 4,12,20,28,52,60,140 and 308.
