Let be a positive definite binary quadratic form with real coefficients and discriminant b2 − 4ac = −1.Among such forms, let . The Epstein zeta function of f is denned to beRankin [7], Cassels [1], Ennola [5], and Diananda [4] between them proved that for every real s > 0,We prove a corresponding result for theta functions. For real α > 0, letThis function satisfies the functional equation(This may be proved by using the formula (4) below, and then twice applying the identity (8).)

Abstract Let 𝑚 ∈ ℕ, 𝑓 be a positive definite, integral, primitive, quaternary quadratic form of the determinant 𝑑 and let ρ(𝑓,𝑚) be the corresponding singular series. When studying the best estimates for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) with respect to 𝑑 and 𝑚 we proved in [Gogishvili, Trudy Tbiliss. Univ. 346: 72–77, 2004] that where 𝑏(𝑘) is the product of distinct prime factors of 16𝑘 if 𝑘 ≠ 1 and 𝑏(𝑘) = 3 if 𝑘 = 1. The present paper proves a more precise estimate where 𝑑 = 𝑑0𝑑1, if 𝑝 > 2; 𝑕(2) ⩾ –4. The last estimate for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) as a general result for quaternary quadratic forms of the above-mentioned type is unimprovable in a certain sense.

For a positive integer d and a non-negative integer a, let Sd,a be the set of all integers of the form dn + a for any non-negative integer n. A (positive definite integral) quadratic form f is said to be Sd,a-universal if it represents all integers in the set Sd, a, and is said to be Sd,a-regular if it represents all integers in the non-empty set Sd,a ∩ Q((f)), where Q(gen(f)) is the set of all integers that are represented by the genus of f. In this paper, we prove that there is a polynomial U(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y] (R(x,y) ∈ ℚ[x,y]) such that the discriminant df for any Sd,a-universal (Sd,a-regular) ternary quadratic forms is bounded by U(d,a) (respectively, R(d,a)).

Let f be a positive definite binary quadratic form with rational coefficients. We shall call a point (x, y) in E2 with integers x and y a Pythagorean point of f when f(x, y) = z2 is satisfied with some integer z, and shall prove the following theorem.

For a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the number of representations of an integer [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. The famous Minkowski–Siegel formula implies that if the class number of [Formula: see text] is one, then [Formula: see text] can be written as a constant multiple of a product of local densities which are easily computable. In this paper, we consider the case when the spinor genus of [Formula: see text] contains only one class. In this case the above also holds if [Formula: see text] is not contained in a set of finite number of square classes which are easily computable. By using this fact, we prove some extension of the recent results on both the representations of generalized Bell ternary forms and the representations of ternary quadratic forms with some congruence conditions.

Abstract In this paper we study the regularized Petersson product between a holomorphic theta series associated to a positive definite binary quadratic form and a weakly holomorphic weight-one modular form with integral Fourier coefficients. In [18], we proved that these Petersson products posses remarkable arithmetic properties. Namely, such a Petersson product is equal to the logarithm of a certain algebraic number lying in a ring class field associated to the binary quadratic form. A similar result was obtained independently using a different method by W. Duke and Y. Li [5]. The main result of this paper is an explicit factorization formula for the algebraic number obtained by exponentiating a Petersson product.
