The representation-count formula for binary quadratic form numbers
The representation-count formula for binary quadratic form numbers
Let a -number be a positive integer represented by the binary quadratic form . Suppose that such a number is written in the general form
where has no prime factor of the form , and are primes of the form . The exponents are nonnegative integers. Representation-count formula. The number of distinct -representations of , including the cases and either variable being zero, is
This gives an explicit divisor-exponent formula for the number of representations by , refining the preceding factorization results for -numbers. The source does not provide evidence resolving the claim, so its status is left open.
