Abstract: In totally real number fields, we characterize the rings of S-integers (obtained by inverting a rational integer m) such that all their totally positive elements are represented as a sum of squares. We further obtain partial answers to the question: when are all the totally positive algebraic integers that are divisible by m represented as a sum of squares?


In this work, the authors consider the problem of sums of squares in \(S\)-integers. They characterize the rings of \(S\)-integers such that all their totally positive elements were represented as a sum of squares. They also obtain partial answers to the question: when are all the totally positive algebraic integers that are divisible by \(m\) represented as a sum of squares?
