Quadratic forms with a strong regularity property on the representations of squares

Abstract

A (positive definite and non-classic integral) quadratic form is called strongly $s$-regular if it satisfies a strong regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this article, we prove that for any integer $k\ge 2$, there are only finitely many isometry classes of strongly $s$-regular quadratic forms with rank $k$ if the minimum of the nonzero squares that are represented by them is fixed.
