Abstract We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\ge 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of representations of integers that are a multiple of $\ell$. This allows us to obtain unconditional Brun–Titchmarsh-type results in short intervals and a conditional Cramér-type result on the maximum gap between primes represented by a given positive definite quadratic form.

We are concerned with representation of positive definite quadratic forms by a positive definite quadratic form. Let us consider the following assertion Am, n : Let M, N be positive definite quadratic lattices over Z with rank(M) = m and rank(N) = n respectively. We assume that the localization Mp is represented by Np for every prime p, that is there is an isometry from Mp to Np. Then there exists a constant c(N) dependent only on N so that M is represented by N if min(M) > c(N), where min(M) denotes the least positive number represented by M.

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.

Let M be a quadratic lattice with positive definite quadratic form over the ring of rational integers, M’ a submodule of finite index, S a finite set of primes containing all prime divisors of 2[M: M’] and such that Mp is unimodular for p ∉ S. In [2] we showed that there is a constant c such that for every lattice N with positive definite quadratic form and every collection (fp)p∊s of isometries fp: NP → MP there is an isometry f: N → M satisfyingf ≡ fp mod M′p for every p |[M: M],f(Np) is private in Mp for every p ∉ S,provided the minimum of N ≥ c and rank M ≥ 3 rank N + 3.


It is shown that for wave functions of the form ψ = ∑ k ⁡ C k exp ⁡ ( − Q k ) , , where Q k is any positive definite quadratic form in the Cartesian co-ordinates of n particles and C k a constant, all integrals required for the calculation of the electronic energy of molecules by the variation method can be readily evaluated. The potential energy integrals are reduced to quadratures and the other integrals are expressed in closed form. In the general case the quadratic forms Q k determine many-electron functions formed from correlated electron orbitals of ellipsoidal symmetry and with variable centres. The results are easily extended to wave functions of the form ψ = ∑ k ⁡ P k exp ⁡ ( − Q k ) , , where P k is a polynomial.

In this paper we generalize results of the third paper of this series. As a corollary we can show the following: Let Li (1 ≤ i ≤ n) be a positive definite quadratic form which is equivalent to one of Cartan matrices of Lie algebras of type An (n ≥ 2), Dn (n ≥ 4), E6, E7, E8 and assume that is positive definite quadratic forms and satisfies that rk Mt ≥ 2 and implies rk K or rk L = 1. Then we have n = m and Lt is equivalent to a constant multiple of Ms(i) for some permutation s. Therefore we get the uniqueness of decompositions with respect to tensor products in this case.

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.
