Let f be an indefinite ternary integral quadratic form and let q be a nonzero integer such that &q det( f ) is not a square. Let N(T, f, q) denote the number of integral solutions of the equation f (x)=q where x lies in the ball of radius T centered at the origin. We are interested in the asymptotic

We give an explicit formula for local densities of integral representations of nondegenerate integral symmetric matrices of arbitrary size in the case p{2, in terms of invariants of quadratic forms.
Let Q 1 , Q 2 # Z[X, Y, Z] be two ternary quadratic forms and u 1 , u 2 # Z. In this paper we consider the problem of solving the system of equations (1) Q 2 (x, y, z)=u 2 in x, y, z # Z with gcd(x, y, z)=1. According to Mordell [12] the coprime solutions of can be presented by finitely many expr
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
Consider the quadratic form Z=Y H (XL X H ) &1 Y where Y is a p\_m complex Gaussian matrix, X is an independent p\_n complex Gaussian matrix, L is a Hermitian positive definite matrix, and m p n. The distribution of Z has been studied for over 30 years due to its importance in certain multivariate s
Representation of numbers by quadratic forms is closely related to the splitting character of their prime divisors in certain subfields of ring class fields. Knowing the generators of these subfields is thus very helpful. In this paper we relate the representation problem of prime powers by ambiguou
