Abstract

Let F(x,y)=ax2+bxy+cy2 be a binary quadratic form of discriminant Δ=b24ac for a,b,cZ, let p be a prime number and let Fp be a finite field. In this paper we formulate the number of integer solutions of cubic congruence x3+ax2+bx+c0(modp) over Fp, for two specific binary quadratic forms F1k(x,y)=x2+kxy+ky2 and F2k(x,y)=kx2+kxy+k2y2 for integer k such that 1k9. Later we consider representation of primes by F1k and F2k.
