Short proofs of the universality of certain diagonal quadratic forms
In a paper of Kim, Chan, and Rhagavan, the universal ternary classical quadratic forms over quadratic fields of positive discriminant were discovered. Here a proof of the universality of some of these quadratic forms is given using a technique of Liouville. Another quadratic form over the field of discriminant 8 is shown universal by a different elementary approach. Mathematics Subject Classifi...
متن کاملCohomological invariants in Galois cohomology, by Skip Garibaldi, Alexander
Quadratic forms q(x1, . . . , xn) over a field k are the classical examples of nonlinear scalar-valued functions on a vector space V = k, and they lie at the foundation of nineteenth-century analytic geometry. Motivated by problems such as finding the axes of a conic, geometers studied quadratic forms under symmetries of V . Given two quadratic forms q, q′ on V , how may we tell if q and q′ are...
متن کاملLocal Conditions for Global Representations of Quadratic Forms
We show that the theorem of Ellenberg and Venkatesh on representation of integral quadratic forms by integral positive definite quadratic forms is valid under weaker conditions on the represented form. In the article [5] Ellenberg and Venkatesh prove that for any integral positive definite quadratic form f in n variables there is a constant C(f) such that integral quadratic forms g of square fr...
متن کاملGauss Sums & Representation by Ternary Quadratic Forms
This paper specifies some conditions as to when an integer m is locally represented by a positive definite diagonal integer-matrix ternary quadratic form Q at a prime p. We use quadratic Gauss sums and a version of Hensel’s Lemma to count how many solutions there are to the equivalence Q(~x) ≡ m (mod p) for any k ≥ 0. Given that m is coprime to the determinant of the Hessian matrix of Q, we can...
متن کاملImaginary quadratic orders with given prime factor of class number
Abelian class group Cl(D) of imaginary quadratic order with odd squarefree discriminant D is used in public key cryptosystems, based on discrete logarithm problem in class group and in cryptosystems, based on isogenies of elliptic curves. Discrete logarithm problem in Cl(D) is hard if #Cl(D) is prime or has large prime divisor. But no algorithms for generating such D are known. We propose proba...
