In this article, we provide the complete answer to a question raised by Kitaoka in his book. (1999, ``Arithmetic of Quadratic Forms,'' Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, UK). More precisely, we prove that A 4 = ( 4) represents all but one and D 4 20[2 1 2 ] represents all but three binary positive ev

The purpose of this paper is to determine the number of genera and the number of classes under rational equivalence of primitive \(n\)-ary quadratic forms of a given nonzero integral determinant. As a consequence a simple criterion is given to characterize the rational equivalence classes which cons
A conjecture of G. L. Watson asserts that the two-sided infimum of the values of a non-homogeneous real indefinite quadratic form in \(n\) variables, obtained when the variables range over all integral values, is an invariant under the signature modulo 8. There is an analogous conjecture by Bambah,
Let the column vectors of X: M\_N, M<N, be distributed as independent complex normal vectors with the same covariance matrix 7. Then the usual quadratic form in the complex normal vectors is denoted by Z=XLX H where L: N\_N is a positive definite hermitian matrix. This paper deals with a representat
The properties of L 2 -approximable sequences established here form a complete toolkit for statistical results concerning weighted sums of random variables, where the weights are nonstochastic sequences approximated in some sense by squareintegrable functions and the random variables are "two-wing"
We consider actions of SLð2; ZÞ and SLð2; ZÞ þ (semigroup of matrices with nonnegative integral entries) on the projective space P and on P Â P. Results are obtained on orbit-closures under these actions and they are applied to describe a class of binary quadratic forms Q such that the sets QðZ 2 Þ
