Positive primes represented by indefinite binary quadratic form
Consider the quadratic number field $K$ with discriminant $D = pq$,
where $p$ and $q$ are primes $\equiv 1 \bmod 4$ (all results below
hold after a suitable modification also for $p = 2$). By results …

Verifying an example in the Geometry of Numbers and Quadratic Forms
Consider the form
$$ Q(x) = 2q(x) = (x_1+x_2)^2 + (x_2+x_3)^2 + \ldots + (x_7+x_1)^2.$$
You have to show that it has Euclidean minimum $\frac74$ attained at $X_1 = x_1+x_2 = \frac12$, ..., $X_7 = x_7 …

Higher Composition Law
I have lecture notes that I'd like to turn into a book one day. I have not yet had time to adapt to my new TeX system, and the drawings done via ps-tricks do not yet come out as planned. In addition, …

Question about Gauss composition law over PID.
Composition in PIDs $R$ is no problem: all you have to do is replace the ring of integers in your favorite proof by $R$.
Speiser wrote his thesis on the theory of binary quadratic forms in number fie …

primes represented by an indefinite binary quadratic form
Meyer (Über einen Satz von Dirichlet, Crelle 103 (1888)) proved that a primitive
binary quadratic form with nonsquare discriminant represents infinitely many primes that
lie in any given compatible re …

Must a ring which admits a Euclidean quadratic form be Euclidean?
This is a comment on the manuscript rather than an answer to your question.
When I read that ${\mathbb Z}$-Euclidean principal binary quadratic forms correspond to norm-Euclidean quadratic orders, my …

Lower bounds for split primes in Real quadratic fields
The following is not a full answer, but perhaps gives you an idea of how to approach the result.
Let us consider the claim
$$ p^{hR} \ge \Big(\frac{D}4\Big) $$
for the smallest noninert prime. I first …

Must a ring which admits a Euclidean quadratic form be Euclidean?
Following Pete's request, I give the following as a second answer.
Take $R = {\mathbb Z}[\sqrt{34}]$ and $q(x,y) = x^2 - (3+\sqrt{34})xy+2y^2$; observe that the discriminant of $q$ is the fundamenta …

Zagier's one-sentence proof of a theorem of Fermat
It's been a while since I read Elsholtz's article, but after doing so I felt none the wiser. Below I have translated Heath-Brown's proof into the language of binary quadratic forms; Zagier's proof loo …
