On quadratic Diophantine equations in four variables and orders associated with lattices
Documenta mathematica, Tome 19 (2014), pp. 247-284
This paper treats certain lattices in ternary quadratic spaces, which are obtained from the data of a non-zero element and a maximal lattice in a quaternary space. Each class in the genus of such a lattice with respect to the special orthogonal group corresponds to an isomorphism class in the genus of an order associated with the lattice in a quaternion algebra. Using this result together with the principle of Shimura, we show that the number of classes of the primitive solutions of a quadratic Diophantine equation in four variables coincides with the type number of the order under suitable conditions on the given element. We illustrate this result by explicit examples.
