In this article, we establish an average behaviour of the Fourier coefficients of the Hecke eigenforms supported at the integers represented by any primitive integral positive definite binary quadratic form of fixed discriminant D < 0 when the class number h (D) = 1 . We also obtain a quantitative result for the number of sign changes of the sequence of Fourier coefficients a(n) of the Hecke eigenforms, where n is represented by any primitive integral positive definite binary quadratic form of fixed discriminant D < 0 when the class number h (D) = 1 in the interval (x, 2x], for sufficiently large x.

Let f be a normalized Hecke eigenform of weight k for the full modular group SL2(ℤ). In this paper, we obtain the asymptotic of higher moments of general divisor functions associated to the Fourier coefficients of Rankin–Selberg L-functions R(s,f × f), supported at the integers represented by primitive integral positive-definite binary quadratic forms (reduced forms) of a fixed discriminant D < 0. We improve previous results in the case when the reduced form is given by 풬(x1,x2) = x12 + x 22. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let λ f (n) and λ g (n) be the normalized n th -Fourier coefficient of distinct Hecke eigenforms f and g of integral weight for the full modular group, respectively, and Q (x ̲) is a primitive integral positive-definite binary quadratic form of fixed discriminant D < 0 with the class number h (D) = 1. We establish a lower bound for the analytic density of the set { p : p = Q (x ̲) for some x ̲ ∈ ℤ 2 and λ f (p m) < λ g (p m) } for each fixed m ∈ ℕ. With the above notation, we also obtain a lower bound for the analytic density of the set { p : p = Q (x ̲) for some x ̲ ∈ ℤ 2 and λ f 2 (p m) < λ g 2 (p m) } for each fixed m ∈ ℕ. As a consequence, we obtain a deterministic criterion for the equality of two Hecke eigenforms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let G be an additive finite abelian group and Γ ⊂ End (G) be a subset of the endomorphism group of G. A sequence S = g 1 · ... · g ℓ over G is a (Γ -)weighted zero-sum sequence if there are γ 1 , ... , γ ℓ ∈ Γ such that γ 1 (g 1) + ... + γ ℓ (g ℓ) = 0 . We construct transfer homomorphisms from norm monoids (of Galois algebraic number fields with Galois group Γ ) and from monoids of positive integers, represented by binary quadratic forms, to monoids of weighted zero-sum sequences. Then we study algebraic and arithmetic properties of monoids of weighted zero-sum sequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this methodological paper, we first review the classic cubic Diophantine equation a³ + b³ + c³ = d³, and consider the specific class of solutions q1³ + q2² + q3³ = q4³ with each qi being a binary quadratic form. Next we turn our attention to the familiar sums of powers of the first n positive integers, Sk = 1k+2k+· · ·+nk, and express the squares Sk², Sm², and the product SkSm as a linear combination of power sums. These expressions, along with the above quadratic-form solution for the cubic equation, allows one to generate an infinite number of relations of the form Q1³ + Q2³ + Q3³ = Q4³, with each Qi being a linear combination of power sums. Also, we briefly consider the quadratic Diophantine equations a² +b² +c² = d² and a² +b² = c², and give a family of corresponding solutions Q1² + Q2² + Q3² = Q4² and Q1² + Q2² = Q3² in terms of sums of powers of integers.

Dirichlet's version of Gauss's reduction theory for indefinite binary quadratic forms includes a map from Gauss-reduced forms to strings of natural numbers. It attaches to a form the minimal period of the continued fraction of a quadratic irrationality associated with the form. When Zagier developed his own reduction theory, parallel to Dirichlet's, he omitted an analogue of this map. We define a new map on Zagier-reduced forms that serves as this analogue. We also define a map from the set of Gauss-reduced forms into the set of Zagier-reduced forms that gives a near-embedding of the structure of Gauss's reduction theory into that of Zagier's. From this perspective, Zagier-reduction becomes a refinement of Gauss-reduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article we estimate the number of integers up to X which can be properly represented by a positive-definite, binary, integral quadratic form of small discriminant. This estimate follows from understanding the vector of signs that arises from computing the Legendre symbol of small integers n at multiple primes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let p be a prime number. In this paper we show that p can be expressed as p = a 2 ± a b − b 2 with integers a and b if and only if p is congruent to 0, 1 or −1 ( mod 5 ) and p can be expressed as p = a 2 ± a b + b 2 with integers a and b if and only if p is congruent to 0, 1 ( mod 3 ) .

We present an improved algorithm for tabulating class groups of imaginary quadratic fields of bounded discriminant. Our method uses classical class number formulas involving theta-series to compute the group orders unconditionally for all Δ ≢ 1 (mod 8). The group structure is resolved using the factorization of the group order. The 1 mod 8 case was handled using the methods of Jacobson, Ramachandran, and Williams including the batch verification method based on the Eichler-Selberg trace formula to remove dependence on the Extended Riemann Hypothesis. Our new method enabled us to extend the previous bound of |Δ| < 2·1011 to 240. Statistical data in support of a variety of conjectures is presented, along with new examples of class groups with exotic structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate the relationship between the numbers of representations of certain integers by a primitive integral binary quadratic form of discriminant and the order of the class of in the form class group of discriminant , in the case when this order is even. The explicit form of the solutions obtained is used to give a partial answer to a question regarding which multiples of can be parameterized in a particular way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let ℤ be the set of integers, and let p be a prime of the form 4k + 1 and so p = c2 + d2 with c, d ∈ ℤ. Let q be an integer of the form 4k + 3. Assume that 4n2p = x2 + qy2 with c, d, n, x, y ∈ ℤ and (q, n) = (x, y) = 1, where (a, b) is the greatest common divisor of integers a and b. In this paper, we establish congruences for (-q)[p/8] ( p) in terms of c, d, n, x and y, where [⋅] is the greatest integer function. In particular, we establish a reciprocity law and give an explicit criterion for (-11)[p/8] ( p). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F be an algebraic number field and let PF(r) denote the number of nonassociated prime elements of absolute field norm less than or equal to r in the corresponding ring of integers. Using information about the absolute field norms of prime elements and Chebotarev's density theorem, we readily show that when F is a Galois extension of Q, it is the case that PF is asymptotic to 1/hπ, where π is the standard prime-counting function and h is the class number of F. Along the way, we pick up some well-known facts on the realizability of certain prime numbers in terms of those binary quadratic forms associated with the field norm over a ring of integers that is a unique factorization domain.

Let f( X) and g( Y) be nondegenerate quadratic forms of dimensions m and n, respectively, over K, char K ≠ 2. The problem of birational composition of f( X) and g( Y) is considered: When is the product f( X) · g( Y) birationally equivalent over K to a quadratic form h( Z) over K of dimension m + n? The solution of the birational composition problem for anisotropic quadratic forms over K in the case of m = n = 2 is given. The main result of the paper is the complete solution of the birational composition problem for forms f( X) and g( Y) over a local field P, char P ≠ 2. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
