On correlations between class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let h(−n) be the class number of the imaginary quadratic field with discriminant −n. We establish an asymtotic formula for correlations involving h(−n) and h(−n−l), over fundamental discriminants that avoid the congruence class 1pmod8. Our result is uniform in the shift l, and the proof uses an identity of Gauss relating h(−n) to representations of integers as sums of three squares. We also prove analogous results on correlations involving rQ(n), the number of representations of an integer n by an integral positive definite quadratic form Q.
