Primitive representation criterion at discriminant minus thirty-five
ID: primitive-representation-criterion-at-discriminant-minus-thirty-five
For odd prime to 35, proper representation by a positive definite binary quadratic form of discriminant is equivalent to being a square modulo every prime divisor of . A primitive representing vector extends to a determinant-one integer matrix, producing a form with leading coefficient and middle coefficient satisfying . Conversely this congruence constructs such a form. Its local roots lift to prime powers and combine by the Chinese remainder theorem. Every class reduces to one of and . The condition is local at each prime divisor; a product Jacobi symbol equal to one alone is insufficient.
