Representations of Forms by Forms in a Finite Field

Representations of Integers by Ternary Quadratic Forms

We investigate the representation of integers by quadratic forms whose theta series lie in Kohnen’s plus space M 3/2(4p), where p is a prime. Conditional upon certain GRH hypotheses, we show effectively that every sufficiently large discriminant with bounded divisibility by p is represented by the form, up to local conditions. We give an algorithm for explicitly calculating the bounds. For smal...

Normal Forms for Representations of Representation-finite Algebras

Metaplectic Forms and Representations

where the image of A is in the center of G̃. If G and G̃ are topological groups, and if A is a discrete subgroup of the center of G̃, then we may think of G̃ as a cover of G, in the topological sense. So we will sometimes use the term covering group. Very often for us, A will be the group μn(F ) of n-th roots of unity, in a given field F . We will use this notation only if |μn(F )| = n. By a Metapl...

The number of representations of a number by various forms

In a recent paper, I began with four classical results due to Jacobi, Dirichlet and Lorenz which give the number of representations of a number by various forms involving squares in terms of divisor functions. I deduced another sixteen similar representation theorems involving triangular numbers and/or squares, including celebrated results of Legendre and Ramanujan (and omitted a seventeenth, g...

Finite element differential forms

A differential form is a field which assigns to each point of a domain an alternating multilinear form on its tangent space. The exterior derivative operation, which maps differential forms to differential forms of the next higher order, unifies the basic first order differential operators of calculus, and is a building block for a great variety of differential equations. When discretizing such...
