Sums of squares of integer-multiple of an integral element on real bi-quadratic fields

Abstract

For any given positive integer $m$ we construct certain totally positive algebraic integers $\alpha$ of a real bi-quadratic field $K$ and obtain some necessary conditions for which $m\alpha$ can not be represented as sum of integral squares. We show this for integers lie in quadratic subfields of $K$ and for integers which are in $K$ but not in any quadratic subfield of $K$. We provide examples in tabular form for each cases to corroborate the results.
