A proof of the S-genus identities for ternary quadratic forms

Alexander Berkovich, Jonathan Hanke, William Jagy

Published 2010-10-10, updated 2011-04-13Version 2

In this paper we prove the main conjectures of Berkovich and Jagy about weighted averages of representation numbers over an S-genus of ternary lattices (defined below) for any odd squarefree S \in N. We do this by reformulating them in terms of local quantities using the Siegel-Weil and Conway-Sloane formulas, and then proving the necessary local identities. We conclude by conjecturing generalized formulas valid over certain totally real number fields as a direction for future work.
