On the representation of integers by binary quadratic forms

Abstract: In this note we show that for a given irreducible binary quadratic form

f (x, y)

with integer coefficients, whenever we have

f (x, y) = f (u, v)

for integers

x, y, u, v

, there exists a rational automorphism of

f

which sends

(x, y)

to

(u, v)

.
