A Quaternionic Proof of the Representation Formula of a Quaternary Quadratic Form
Jesse I. Deutsch
Abstract
Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of representations of a positive integer by sums of four squares using quaternions. The result is the formula for the number of representations of a positive integer by one of the above mentioned quaternary quadratic forms.
