Extract

The forms under discussion are integral positive definite quadratic forms in three variables. Such a form g is called regular if g represents every integer represented by the genus of g. This can be recast in elementary terms: g is regular if the solvability of g≡a (mod n) for every n implies the solvability of g = a.
