Binary quadratic forms represented by sums of squares in an essentially unique way (Q2181592)

The paper is devoted to classification of binary quadratic form that have unique (up to isometries) representation as a sum of \(n\) integral squares (\(n\geq 4\)). For \(n=4\) and \(n=5\) the number of such forms is infinite and way are classified. For \(n\geq 6\) the number of such forms is finite (10 for \(n=6\), 8 for \(n=7\) and 6 for \(n\geq 8\)). Moreover, quadratic forms \([1,0,1]\), \([1,0,2]\), \([1,0,3]\), \([2,1,2]\), and \([2,1,3]\) are uniquely represented as a sums of \(n\) integral squares for each \(n\geq 4\) and the form \([2,1,4]\) is uniquely represented as a sums of \(n\) integral squares for each \(n\geq 5\).
