Abstract: | Let p ≡ ± 1 (mod 8) be a prime which is a quadratic residue modulo 7. Then p = M2 + 7N2, and knowing M and N makes it possible to “predict” whether p = A2 + 14B2 is solvable or p = 7C2 + 2D2 is solvable. More generally, let q and r be distinct primes, and let an integral solution of H2p = M2 + qN2 be known. Under appropriate assumptions, this information can be used to restrict the possible values of K for which K2q = A2 + qrB2 is solvable and the possible values of K′ for which K′2p = qC2 + rD2 is solvable. These restrictions exclude some of the binary quadratic forms in the principal genus of discriminant ?4qr from representing p. |
