Generalized S-genus identity for ternary quadratic forms over totally real fields

Let FF be a totally real number field of class number one in which 22 is inert, and let AFA_F be its ring of integers. Suppose that 2S(AF×)22S(A_F^\times)^2 is the squarefree determinant squareclass of a totally positive definite AFA_F-valued binary quadratic form, and that WmodAFW\bmod A_F divides SS. For a ternary quadratic form QQ, define

ϵW(Q):=pWεp(Gen(Q)).\epsilon_W(Q):=\prod_{\mathfrak{p}\mid W}\varepsilon_{\mathfrak{p}}(\operatorname{Gen}(Q)).

Let rQ(m)r_Q(m) denote the representation number and Aut(Q)\operatorname{Aut}(Q) the automorphism group. Generalized S-genus identity. There is a constant κFQ>0\kappa_F\in\mathbb{Q}_{>0} depending only on FF such that, for every totally positive mAFm\in A_F satisfying WmW\mid m and m(AF×)22(AF×)2(mod4AF)m\in(A_F^\times)^2\cup 2(A_F^\times)^2\pmod{4A_F},

QS-genusϵW(Q)rQ(m)Aut(Q)=κFW[F:Q]rx2+y2+z2(m/W2)Aut(x2+y2+z2).\sum_{Q\in\text{$S$-genus}}\epsilon_W(Q)\frac{r_Q(m)}{|\operatorname{Aut}(Q)|}=\kappa_F W^{[F:\mathbb{Q}]}\frac{r_{x^2+y^2+z^2}(m/W^2)}{|\operatorname{Aut}(x^2+y^2+z^2)|}.

This proposes a generalization of the proved S-genus identities from the rational setting to totally real number fields satisfying the stated hypotheses. The constant is asserted to depend only on FF, while the identity is required uniformly for all admissible totally positive mm.
