Abstract: We show that if $h(x,y)=a{x}^2+bxy+c{y}^{2}inmathbbZ[x,y]$ satisfies $Delta(h)=b^2-4aceq0$, then any subset of $1,2,dots,N$ lacking nonzero differences in the image of $h$ has size at most a constant depending on $h$ times $Nexp(-csqrtlogN)$, where $c=c(h)>0$. We achieve this goal by adapting an $L^2$ density increment strategy previously used to establish analogous results for sums of one or more single-variable polynomials. Our exposition is thorough and self-contained, in order to serve as an accessible gateway for readers who are unfamiliar with previous implementations of these techniques.
