Abstract: | LetQ(x) denote a quadratic form over the rational integers in four variables (x=(x1,...,x4)). ThenQ is representable as a symmetric matrix. Assume this matrix to be non-singular modp(p≠2 prime); then the “inverse” quadratic formQ ?1 modp can be defined. Letf:?4→? be defined such that the Fourier transformf exists and the sum $$\sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {f(c x), c \in \mathbb{R}, c \ne 0} $$ is convergent. Furthermore, letm=p 1...p k be the product ofk distinct primes withm>1, 2×m; let $$\varepsilon = \prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {\frac{{\det Q}}{{p_i }}} \right)} \ne 0$$ for the Legendre symbol $$\left( {\frac{ \cdot }{p}} \right)$$ ; define $$B_i (Q,x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {1 for Q(x) \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ , \\ {0 for Q(x)\not \equiv 0\bmod p_i } \\ \end{array} } \right.$$ and forr∈?,r>0, $$F(Q,f,r) = \sum\limits_{x \in \mathbb{Z}^4 } {\left( {\prod\limits_{i = 1}^k {\left( {B_i (Q,x) - \frac{1}{{p_i }}} \right)} } \right)f(r^{ - {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} x)} $$ Then we have $$F(Q,f,m) = \varepsilon F(Q^{ - 1} ,\hat f,m)$$ |
