초록

Let f be an integral quadratic form in k variables, F the Gram matrix corresponding to a ℤ-basis of ℤk. For r ∈ F-1k, a rational number n with f(r) ≡ n mod ℤ and a positive integer c, set Nf(n, r; c) := #{x ∈ ℤk/cℤk : f(x + r) ≡ n mod c}. Siegel showed that for each prime p, there is a number w depending on r and n such that Nf(n, r; pν+1) = pk-1Nf(n, r; pν) holds for every integer ν > w and gave a rough estimation on the upper bound for such w. In this short note, we give a more explicit estimation on this bound than Siegel's.
