In number theory, a branch of mathematics, Ramanujan's ternary quadratic form is the algebraic expression x 2 + y 2 + 10z 2 with integral values for x, y and z. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Srinivasa Ramanujan considered this expression in a footnote in a paper [ 3 ] published in 1916 and briefly discussed the representability of integers in this form.
A mapping q : M → R : v ↦ b(v, v) is the associated quadratic form of b, and B : M × M → R : (u, v) ↦ q(u + v) − q(u) − q(v) is the polar form of q. A quadratic form q : M → R may be characterized in the following equivalent ways: There exists an R-bilinear form b : M × M → R such that q(v) is the associated quadratic form.

By definition, a quadric X of dimension n over a field k is the subspace of + defined by q = 0, where q is a nonzero homogeneous polynomial of degree 2 over k in variables , …, +. (A homogeneous polynomial is also called a form, and so q may be called a quadratic form.)
A ternary complex is a protein complex containing three different molecules that are bound together. In structural biology , ternary complex can also be used to describe a crystal containing a protein with two small molecules bound, such as a cofactor and a substrate ; or a complex formed between two proteins and a single substrate.

1. A contravariant of a ternary form, giving the equation of a dual curve. (Elliott 1895, p.400) reciprocity Exchanging the degree of a form with the degree of an invariant. For example, Hermite's law of reciprocity states that the degree p invariants of a form of degree n correspond to the degree n invariants of a form of degree p.
The study of real, quadratic algebras shows the distinction between types of quadratic forms. The product zz* is a quadratic form for each of the complex numbers, split-complex numbers, and dual numbers. For z = x + ε y, the dual number form is x 2 which is a degenerate quadratic form. The split-complex case is an isotropic form, and the ...
An integral quadratic form is a quadratic form on Z n, or equivalently a free Z-module of finite rank. Two such forms are in the same genus if they are equivalent over the local rings Z p for each prime p and also equivalent over R .
