The main object of this paper is to find the number of classes in a genus of indefinite quadratic forms, with integral coefficients, in k ≥ 4 variables, distinguishing for even k two cases, according as improper equivalence is or is not admitted.

Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer and let $P=k+2,Q=k$ and $D=k^{2}+4$. In this paper, we derived some algebraic properties of quadratic ideals $I_{\gamma}$ and indefinite quadratic forms $F_{\gamma }$ for quadratic irrationals $\gamma$, and then we determine the set of all integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $F_{\gamma }^{\pm k}(x,y)=\pm Q$.

Let k be an algebraic number field of finite degree over Q, the field of rationals, and K be an extension of finite degree over k. By the use of the class number of algebraic tori, we can introduce an arithmetical invariant E(K/k) for the extension K/k. When k = Q and K is quadratic over Q, the formula of Gauss on the genera of binary quadratic forms, i.e. the formula where = the class number of K in the narrow sense, the number of classes is a genus of the norm form of K/Q and tK = the number of distinct prime factors of the discriminant of K, may be considered as an equality between E(K/Q) and other arithmetical invariants of K.
