For a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the number of representations of an integer [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. The famous Minkowski–Siegel formula implies that if the class number of [Formula: see text] is one, then [Formula: see text] can be written as a constant multiple of a product of local densities which are easily computable. In this paper, we consider the case when the spinor genus of [Formula: see text] contains only one class. In this case the above also holds if [Formula: see text] is not contained in a set of finite number of square classes which are easily computable. By using this fact, we prove some extension of the recent results on both the representations of generalized Bell ternary forms and the representations of ternary quadratic forms with some congruence conditions.

For a positive definite ternary integral quadratic form [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the number of representations of an integer [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. A ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text] is said to be a generalized Bell ternary quadratic form if [Formula: see text] is isometric to [Formula: see text] for some nonnegative integers [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we give a closed formula for [Formula: see text] for a generalized Bell ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and class number greater than [Formula: see text] by using the Minkowski–Siegel formula and bases for spaces of cusp forms of weight [Formula: see text] and level [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] consisting of eta-quotients.

For a positive integer d and a non-negative integer a, let Sd,a be the set of all integers of the form dn + a for any non-negative integer n. A (positive definite integral) quadratic form f is said to be Sd,a-universal if it represents all integers in the set Sd, a, and is said to be Sd,a-regular if it represents all integers in the non-empty set Sd,a ∩ Q((f)), where Q(gen(f)) is the set of all integers that are represented by the genus of f. In this paper, we prove that there is a polynomial U(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y] (R(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y]) such that the discriminant df for any Sd,a-universal (Sd,a-regular) ternary quadratic forms is bounded by U(d,a) (respectively, R(d,a)).

In a recent paper [9] the author showed (among other results) estimates on the asymptotic behaviour of the representation numbers of positive definite integral ternary quadratic forms, in particular, that for n in a fixed square class tZ2 and lattices L, K in the same spinor genus one has . The main tool utilized for the proof was the theory of modular forms of weight 3/2, especially Shimura’s lifting from the space of cusp forms of weight 3/2 to the space of modular forms of weight 2.

Let 𝔬 be the ring of integers in a number field. An integral quadratic form over 𝔬 is called regular if it represents all integers in 𝔬 that are represented by its genus. In [13,14] Watson proved that there are only finitely many inequivalent positive definite primitive integral regular ternary quadratic forms over ℤ. In this paper, we generalize Watson's result to totally positive regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text]. We also show that the same finiteness result holds for totally positive definite spinor regular ternary quadratic forms over [Formula: see text], and thus extends the corresponding finiteness results for spinor regular quadratic forms over ℤ obtained in [1,3].

Abstract Let 𝑚 ∈ ℕ, 𝑓 be a positive definite, integral, primitive, quaternary quadratic form of the determinant 𝑑 and let ρ(𝑓,𝑚) be the corresponding singular series. When studying the best estimates for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) with respect to 𝑑 and 𝑚 we proved in [Gogishvili, Trudy Tbiliss. Univ. 346: 72–77, 2004] that where 𝑏(𝑘) is the product of distinct prime factors of 16𝑘 if 𝑘 ≠ 1 and 𝑏(𝑘) = 3 if 𝑘 = 1. The present paper proves a more precise estimate where 𝑑 = 𝑑0𝑑1, if 𝑝 > 2; 𝑕(2) ⩾ –4. The last estimate for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) as a general result for quaternary quadratic forms of the above-mentioned type is unimprovable in a certain sense.

In a paper [1] with the same title Barnes has shown that if Q(x, y, z) is an indefinite ternary quadratic form of determinant d ≠ 0 then there exist integers x1, y1, z1, x2,···z3 satisfying for which Furthermore, unless Q is equivalent to a multiple of or two other forms Q2, Q3 then the constant ⅔ in (1.2) can be replaced by 1/2.2. For Q1 equality is needed on at least one side of (1.2) while for Q2, Q3 the constant ⅔ can be reduced to 12/25 but no further.

Let f(x, y, z) be an indefinite ternary quadratic form of signature (2, 1) and determinant d ≠ 0. Davenport [3] has shown that there exist integral x, y, z with, the equality sign being necessary if and only if f is a positive multiple of f1(x, y, z) = x2 + yz.

Abstract A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form is said to be prime-universal if it represents all primes. Recently, Doyle and Williams [‘Prime-universal quadratic forms $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$ and $ax^2+by^2+cz^2+dw^2$ ’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.101 (2020), 1–12] classified all prime-universal diagonal ternary quadratic forms and all prime-universal diagonal quaternary quadratic forms under two conjectures. We classify all prime-universal diagonal quadratic forms regardless of rank, and prove the so-called 67-theorem for a diagonal quadratic form to be prime-universal.

For any given non-square integer [Formula: see text], we prove Euclid’s type inequalities for the sequence [Formula: see text] of all primes satisfying the Kronecker symbol [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and give a new criterion on a ternary quadratic form to be irregular as an application, which simplifies Dickson and Jones’s argument in the classification of regular ternary quadratic forms to some extent.
