Pairs of cubic forms in many variables
The parameter spaces for quadrics are reviewed. In addition, an explicit formula for the number of quadrics tangent to given linear subspaces is presented.
In this paper we study some aspects of the cohomology of groups and we construct a central extension of the symplectic group .
Let be a real quadratic field with ring of integers . In this paper we analyze the number of -orbits of homothety classes of perfect unary forms over as a function of . We compute exactly for square-free . By relating perfect forms to continued fractions, we give bounds on and address some questions raised by Watanabe, Yano, and Hayashi.
Let be a positive definite binary quadratic form with arbitrary real coefficients. For large real , one may ask for the number of primitive lattice points (integer points with ) in the ellipse disc , in particular, for the remainder term in the asymptotics for . While upper bounds for depend on zero-free regions of the zeta-function, and thus, in most published results, on the Riemann Hypothesis, the present paper deals with a lower estimate. It is proved that the absolute value or...
