1 ON SUS OF THREE SQUARES S.K.K. CHOI, A.V. KUCHEV, AND R. OSBURN Abstract. Let r 3 (n) be the number of representations of a positive integer n as a sum of three squares of integers. We give two alternative proofs of a conjecture of Wagon concerning the asymptotic value of the mean square of r 3 (n). 1. Introduction Problems concerning sums of three squares have a rich history. It is a classical result of Gauss that n = x 1 + x + x 3 has a solution in integers if and only if n is not of the form 4 a (8k + 7) with a, k Z. Let r 3 (n) be the number of representations of n as a sum of three squares (counting signs and order). It was conjectured by Hardy and proved by Bateman [1] that (1) r 3 (n) = 4πn 1/ S 3 (n), the singular series S 3 (n) is given by (16) with Q =. While in principle this exact formula can be used to answer almost any question concerning r 3 (n), the ensuing calculations can be tricky because of the slow convergence of the singular series S 3 (n). Thus, one often sidesteps (1) and attacks problems involving r 3 (n) directly. For example, concerning the mean value of r 3 (n), one can adapt the method of solution of the circle problem to obtain the following r 3 (n) 4 3 πx3/. oreover, such a direct approach enables us to bound the error term in this asymptotic formula. An application of a result of Landau [9, pp ] yields r 3 (n) = 4 3 πx3/ + O ( x 3/4+ɛ) for all ɛ > 0, and subsequent improvements on the error term have been obtained by Vinogradov [19], Chamizo and Iwaniec [3], and Heath-Brown [6]. In this note we consider the mean square of r 3 (n). The following asymptotic formula was conjectured by Wagon and proved by Crandall (see [4] or []).

2 Theorem. Let r 3 (n) be the number of representations of a positive integer n as a sum of three squares of integers. Then () r 3 (n) 8π4 1ζ(3) x. Apparently, at the time they discussed this conjecture Crandall and Wagon were unaware of the earlier work of üller [11, 1]. He obtained a more general result which, in a special case, gives r 3 (n) = Bx + O ( x 14/9), B is a constant. However, since in üller s work B arises as a specialization of a more general (and more complicated) quantity, it is not immediately clear that B = 8 1 π4 /ζ(3). The purpose of this paper is to give two distinct proofs of this fact: one that evaluates B in the form given by üller and a direct proof using the Hardy Littlewood circle method.. A direct proof: the circle method Our first proof exploits the observation that the left side of () counts solutions of the equation m 1 + m + m 3 = m 4 + m 5 + m 6 in integers m 1,..., m 6 with m j x. This is exactly the kind of problem that the circle method was designed for. The additional constraint m 1 + m + m 3 x causes some technical difficulties, but those are minor. Set N = x and define f (α) = m N e ( αm ), e(z) = e πiz. Then for an integer n x, the number r (n) of representations of n as a sum of three squares of positive integers is r (n) = 1 0 f (α) 3 e( αn) dα. Since r 3 (n) = 8r (n) + O(r (n)), r (n) is the number of representations of n as a sum of two squares, we have (3) r 3 (n) = 64 r (n) + O ( x 3/+ɛ). Therefore, it suffices to evaluate the mean square of r (n). Let We introduce the sets and P = N/4 and Q = N 1/. (q, a) = { α [ Q 1, 1 + Q 1] : qα a PN } = q Q 1 a q (a,q)=1 (q, a), m = [ Q 1, 1 + Q 1] \.
3 We have (4) ( r (n) = + m ) f (α) 3 e( αn) dα = r (n, ) + r (n, m), say. We now proceed to approximate the mean square of r (n) by that of r (n, ). Cauchy s inequality, (5) r (n) = r (n, ) + O ( ) (Σ 1 Σ ) 1/ + Σ, Σ 1 = r (n, ), Σ = r (n, m). By (4) and By Bessel s inequality, (6) Σ = m f (α) 3 e( αn) dα m f (α) 6 dα. By Dirichlet s theorem of diophantine approximation, we can write any real α as α = a/q + β, 1 q N P 1, (a, q) = 1, β P/(qN ). When α m, we have q Q, and hence Weyl s inequality (see Vaughan [18, Lemma.4]) yields (7) f (α) N 1+ɛ( q 1 + N 1 + qn ) 1/ N 1+ɛ Q 1/. Furthermore, we have (8) 1 0 f (α) 4 dα N +ɛ, because the integral on the left equals the number of solutions of m 1 + m = m 3 + m 4 in integers m 1,..., m 4 N. For each choice of m 1 and m, this equation has N ɛ solutions. Combining (6) (8) and replacing ɛ by ɛ/3, we obtain (9) Σ N 4+ɛ Q 1. Furthermore, another appeal to Bessel s inequality and appeals to (8) and to the trivial estimate f (α) N yield 1 (10) Σ 1 f (α) 6 dα f (α) 6 dα N 4+ɛ. here We now define a function f on by setting f (α) = q 1 S (q, a)v(α a/q) for α (q, a) ; S (q, a) = e ( ah /q ), v(β) = 1 m 1/ e(βm). 1 h q 3 0 m x
4 Our next goal is to approximate the mean square of r (n, ) by the mean square of the integral R (n) = f (α) 3 e( αn) dα. Similarly to (5), (11) (1) Σ 3 = r (n, ) = R (n) + O ( Σ 3 + (Σ 1 Σ 3 ) 1/), [ f (α) 3 f (α) 3] e( αn) dα f (α) 3 f (α) 3 dα, after yet another appeal to Bessel s inequality. By [18, Theorem 4.1], when α (q, a), Thus, whence (q,a) f (α) = f (α) + O ( q 1/+ɛ). f (α) 3 f (α) 3 dα q 1+ɛ (q,a) ( f (α) 4 + q +4ɛ) dα, f (α) 3 f (α) 3 1 dα Q 1+ɛ f (α) 4 dα + PQ 4+6ɛ N. Bounding the last integral using (8) and substituting the ensuing estimate into (1), we obtain (13) Σ 3 QN +ɛ + PQ 4 N +3ɛ QN +ɛ. Combining (5), (9) (11), and (13), we deduce that (14) r (n) = R (n) + O ( N 4+ɛ Q 1/ + N 3+ɛ Q 1/). so We now proceed to evaluate the main term in (14). We have f (α) 3 e( αn) dα = q 3 S (q, a) 3 e( an/q) (q,a) R (n) = q Q A(q, n)i(q, n), 0 (q,0) v(β) 3 e( βn) dβ, Hence, (15) A(q, n) = 1 a q (a,q)=1 q 3 S (q, a) 3 e( an/q), I(q, n) = (q,0) R (n) = I(n) S 3 (n, Q) + O ( ) (Σ 4 Σ 5 ) 1/ + Σ 5, 4 v(β) 3 e( βn) dβ.
5 (16) S 3 (n, Q) = A(q, n), q Q I(n) = 1/ 1/ v(β) 3 e( βn) dβ, Σ 4 = ( ) I(n) A(q, n), Σ 5 = ( A(q, n)(i(n) I(q, n)) ). q Q q Q By [18, Theorem.3] and [18, Theorem 4.], (17) I(n) = Γ(3/) n + O(1) = π n + O(1), A(q, n) q 1/. 4 Furthermore, since A(q, n) is multiplicative in q, [18, Lemma 4.7] yields A(q, n) ( (18) 1 + A(p, n) + A(p, n) + ) q Q p Q ( 1 + c1 (p, n)p 3/ + 3c 1 p 1) (nq) ɛ, p Q c 1 > 0 is an absolute constant. In particular, we have (19) Σ 4 N 4+ɛ. We now turn to the estimation of Σ 5. By Cauchy s inequality and the second bound in (17), Σ 5 (log Q) I(n) I(n, q) Another application of Bessel s inequality gives q Q I(n) I(n, q) 1/ P/qN v(β) 6 dβ. Using [18, Lemma.8] to estimate the last integral, we deduce that Σ 5 log Q q Q ( q N 4 P + 1 ) N Q 3+ɛ. Substituting this inequality and (19) into (15), we conclude that (0) R (n) = I(n) S 3 (n, Q) + O ( N 3+ɛ Q 3/). We then use (17) and (18) to replace I(n) on the right side of (0) by π 4 n. We get I(n) S 3 (n, Q) = π 16 ns 3 (n, Q) + O ( N 3+ɛ). Together with (14) and (0), this leads to the asymptotic formula (1) r (n) = π 16 ns 3 (n, Q) + O ( N 4+ɛ Q 1/ + N 3+ɛ Q 3/). 5
6 Finally, we evaluate the sum on the right side of (1). On observing that S 3 (n, Q) is in fact a real number, we have S 3 (n, Q) = (q 1 q ) 3 S (q 1, a 1 ) 3 S (q, a ) 3 e ( (a 1 /q 1 a /q )n ). n t n t q 1,q Q 1 a 1 q 1 1 a q (a 1,q 1 )=1 (a,q )=1 As the sum over n equals t + O(1) when a 1 = a and q 1 = q and O(q 1 q ) otherwise, we get S 3 (n, Q) = t q 6 S (q, a) 6 + O ( Σ6), n t q Q We find that with Σ 6 = q Q 1 a q (a,q)=1 1 a q (a,q)=1 q S (q, a) 3 Q 3/. S 3 (n, Q) = B 1 t + O ( tq 1 + Q 3), n t B 1 = q=1 1 a q (a,q)=1 q 6 S (q, a) 6. Thus, by partial summation, ns 3 (n, Q) = (B 1 /)x + O ( x Q 1 + xq 3). Combining this asymptotic formula with (1), we deduce that r (n) = π 3 B 1x + O ( x 15/8+ɛ). Recalling (3), we see that () will follow if we show that B 1 = 8ζ() 7ζ(3). This, however, follows easily from the well-known formula (see [7, 7.5]) q if q 1 (mod ), () S (q, a) = q if q 0 (mod 4), 0 if q (mod 4). Indeed, () yields B 1 = 4 3 q odd q 3 φ(q) = 8ζ() 7ζ(3), the last step uses the Euler product of ζ(s). This completes the proof of our theorem. 6
7 3. Second Proof of Theorem Rankin [13] and Selberg [17] independently introduced an important method which allows one to study the analytic behavior of the Dirichlet series a(n) n s n=1 a(n) are Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form for some congruence subgroup of Γ = S L (Z). Originally the method was for holomorphic cusp forms. Zagier [0] extended the method to cover forms that are not cuspidal and may not decay rapidly at infinity. üller [11, 1] considered the case a(n) is the Fourier coefficient of non-holomorphic cusp or non-cusp form of real weight with respect to a Fuchsian group of the first kind. It is this last approach we wish to discuss. Note that if we apply a Tauberian theorem to the above Dirichlet series, we then gain information on the asymptotic behavior of the partial sum a(n). We now discuss üller s elegant work. For details regarding discontinuous groups and automorphic forms, see [8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16]. Let H = {z C : I(z) > 0} denote the upper half plane and G = S L(, R) the special linear group of all matrices with determinant 1. G acts on H by z gz = az + b ( ) cz + d a b for g = G. We write y = y(z) = I(z). Thus we have c d y y(gz) = cz + d. Let dx dy denote the Lebesgue measure in the plane. Then the measure dµ = dx dy y is invariant under the action of G on H. A discrete subgroup Γ of G is called a Fuchsian group of the first kind if its fundamental domain Γ\H has finite volume. Let Γ be a Fuchsian group of the first kind containing ±I I is the identity matrix. Let F (Γ, χ, k, λ) denote the space of (non-holomorphic) automorphic forms of real weight k, eigenvalue λ = 1 4 ρ, R(ρ) 0, and multiplier system χ. For k R, g S L(, R) and f : H C, we define the stroke operator k by ( ) k cz + d ( f k g)(z) := f (gz) cz + d ( ) a b g = Γ. The transformation law for f F (Γ, χ, k, λ) is then c d ( f k g)(z) = χ(g) f (z) for all g Γ. Automorphic forms f F (Γ, χ, k, λ) have a Fourier expansion at every cusp κ of Γ, namely A κ,0 (y) + n 0 a κ,n W (sgn n) k,ρ(4π n + µ κ y)e((n + µ k )x), µ κ is the cusp parameter and a κ,n are the Fourier coefficients of f at κ. The functions W α,ρ are Whittaker functions (see [11, 3]), A κ,0 (y) = 0 if µ k 0 and 7
8 { aκ,0 y A κ,0 (y) = 1/+ρ + b κ,0 y 1/ ρ if µ κ = 0, ρ 0, a κ,0 y 1/ + b κ,0 y 1/ log y if µ κ = 0, ρ = 0. An automorphic form f is called a cusp form if a κ,0 = b κ,0 = 0 for all cusps κ of Γ. Now consider the Dirichlet series S κ ( f, s) = a κ,n (n + µ n>0 κ ). s This series is absolutely convergent for R(s) > R(ρ) and has been shown [1] to have meromorphic continuation in the entire complex plane. In what follows, we will only be interested in the case f is not a cusp form. If f is not a cusp form and R(ρ) > 0, then S κ ( f, s) has a simple pole at s = R(ρ) with residue (3) β κ ( f ) = res S κ ( f, s) = (4π) R(ρ) b + (k/, ρ) s=r(ρ) ι K ϕ κ,ι (1 + R(ρ)) a ι,0, K denotes a complete set of Γ-inequivalent cusps, ϕ κ,ι (1 + R(ρ)) > 0 and b + ( k, ρ) > 0 if ρ + 1 ± k is a non-negative integer. For the definition of the functions ϕ κ,ι and b +, see Lemma 3.6 and (69) in [1]. This result (3) and a Tauberian argument then provide the asymptotic behaviour of the summatory function a κ,n n + µ κ r. Precisely, we have (see [11, Theorem.1] or [1, Theorem 5.]) that (4) a κ,n n + µ κ r = res S κ( f, s) xr+s s=z r + s + O(xr+Rρ γ (log x) g ), z R R(ρ) + r 0, R = {±R(ρ), ±ii(ρ), 0, r}, γ = ( + 8R(ρ))(5 + 16R(ρ)) 1, and g =max(0, b 1); b denotes the order of the pole of S κ ( f, s)(r + s) 1 x r+s at s = R(ρ) (0 b 5). We now consider an application of (4). Let Q Z m m be a non-singular symmetric matrix with even diagonal entries and q(x) = 1 Q[x] = 1 xt Qx, x Z m, the associated quadratic form in m 3 variables. Here we assume that q(x) is positive definite. Let r(q, n) denote the number of representations of n by the quadratic form Q. Now consider the theta function θ Q (z) = x Z m e πizq[x]. By [11, Lemma 6.1], the Dirichlet series associated with the automorphic form θ Q is (4π) m/4 ζ Q ( m 4 + s) ζ Q (s) = n=1 r(q, n) n s = x Z m \{0} q(x) s for R(s) > m/. Using (4), üller proved the following (see [11, Theorem 6.1]) Theorem (üller). Let q(x) = 1 Q[x] = 1 xt Qx, x Z m be a primitive positive definite quadratic form in m 3 variables with integral coefficients. Then ( ) r(q, n) = Bx m 1 4m 5 (m 1) + O x 4m 3 8
9 and β (θ Q ) is given by (3). B = (4π) m/ β (θ Q ) m 1 We are now in a position to prove our theorem in page. Proof. We are interested in the case q(x) = x1 + x + x3 and so r(q, n) = r 3 (n) counts the number of representations of n as a sum of three squares. By üller s Theorem above, ) r 3 (n) = Bx + O (x 14/9 B is a computable constant. Specifically, we have by (3) (with k = 3/ and ρ = 1/4) B = 4π 3 1 b+ (3/4, 1/4) ι K ϕ,ι (3/) a ι,0, K denotes a complete set of Γ 0 (4)-inequivalent cusps and a ι,0 is the 0-th Fourier coefficient of θ Q (z) at a rational cusp ι. Choose K = {1, 1, 1 }. Then by p. 145 and (67) in [11], we have 4 a ι,0 = W 3 ι G(S ι ) ι = u/w, (u, w) = 1, w 1, W ι is width of the cusp ι, and G(S ι ) = 3 w 3 w e( u w x ) 6. As W 1/4 = W 1/ = 1, W 1 = 4, we have a 1,0 = 1, a 1/,0 = 0, and a 1/4,0 = 1. An explicit description of the functions ϕ,ι (s) in the case Γ 0 (4) is given by (see (1.17) and p. 47 in [5]) ϕ,1/4 (s) = 1 4s (1 s ) 1 1/ Γ(s 1/)ζ(s 1) π, Γ(s)ζ(s) ϕ,1/ (s) = ϕ,1 (s) = s (1 s ) 1 (1 1 s 1/ Γ(s 1/)ζ(s 1) )π. Γ(s)ζ(s) Thus for s = 3/, we have Now, from p. 65 in [1], we have By Lemma 3.3 and (16) in [1], x=1 ϕ,1/4 (3/) = 5 (1 3 ) 1 π ζ() Γ(3/)ζ(3), ϕ,1/ (3/) = ϕ,1 (3/) = 3 (1 3 ) 1 (1 )π ζ() Γ(3/)ζ(3). b + (3/4, 1/4) = G 1/4,1/4(3/). G 1/4,1/4(s) = Γ(s + 1/) 1 9
10 and so b + (3/4, 1/4) = Γ() 1. In total, Thus ( B = (4π) 1 3 (1 3 ) 1 (1 )π 1/ ζ() (3 1) Γ() Γ(3/)ζ(3) + 5 (1 3 ) 1 π 1/ ζ() Γ(3/)ζ(3) = 8π4 1ζ(3). r 3 (n) ) 8π4 1ζ(3) x. Remark. üller s Theorem can also be used to obtain the mean square value of sums of N > 3 squares. Precisely, if r N (n) is the number of representations of n by N > 3 squares, then a calculation similar to the second proof of our theorem yields (compare with Theorem 3.3 in []) ( ) r N (n) = W N x N 1 4N 5 (N 1) + O x 4N 3 W N = π N 1 ζ(n 1).
