Approximating the Distributions of Singular Quadratic Expressions and their Ratios
Noncentral indefinite quadratic expressions in possibly non- singular normal vectors are represented in terms of the difference of two positive definite quadratic forms and an independently distributed linear combination of standard normal random variables. This result also ap- plies to quadratic forms in singular normal vectors for which no general representation is currently available. The ...
متن کاملThe family of indefinite binary quadratic forms and elliptic curves over finite fields
In this paper, we consider some properties of the family of indefinite binary quadratic forms and elliptic curves. In the first section, we give some preliminaries from binary quadratic forms and elliptic curves. In the second section, we define a special family of indefinite forms Fi and then we obtain some properties of these forms. In the third section, we consider the number of rational poi...
متن کاملQuadratic Irrationals, Quadratic Ideals and Indefinite Quadratic Forms II
Let D = 1 be a positive non-square integer and let δ = √ D or 1+ √ D 2 be a real quadratic irrational with trace t = δ + δ and norm n = δδ. Let γ = P+δ Q be a quadratic irrational for positive integers P and Q. Given a quadratic irrational γ, there exist a quadratic ideal Iγ = [Q, δ + P ] and an indefinite quadratic form Fγ(x, y) = Q(x−γy)(x−γy) of discriminant Δ = t − 4n. In the first section,...
متن کاملAsymptotic formulas for partial sums of class numbers of indefinite binary quadratic forms
Sarnak obtained the asymptotic formula of the sum of the class numbers of indefinite binary quadratic forms from the prime geodesic theorem for the modular group. In the present paper, we show several asymptotic formulas of partial sums of the class numbers by using the prime geodesic theorems for the congruence subgroups of the modular group.
متن کاملModuli Spaces for Rings and Ideals
The association of algebraic objects to forms has had many important applications in number theory. Gauss, over two centuries ago, studied quadratic rings and ideals associated to binary quadratic forms, and found that ideal classes of quadratic rings are exactly parametrized by equivalence classes of integral binary quadratic forms. Delone and Faddeev, in 1940, showed that cubic rings are para...
