Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

Introduction to the arithmetic theory of automorphic functions

Historically the theory of quadratic forms has its origins in number-theoretic questions of the following type: Which integers can be written in the form x 2 + 2y 2 , which are sums of three squares, or more generally, which integers can be represented by an arbitrary quadratic form Σ a ij x i x j integral coefficients? This general question is exceptionally difficult and we are still quite far from a complete solution. It is natural and considerably simpler to first investigate these questions over the field of rational numbers, that is, to ask for rational instead of integral solutions to the equation Σ a ij x i x j = a. This leads to the problem of classification of quadratic forms over $ \mathbb{Q} $, which was first solved by Minkowski. His solution appears in this chapter basically unaltered, except for a few simplifications and the use of modern terminology. The Gaussian sums of Gauss and Dirich-let play a significant role in the more formal algebraic part of the theory.

Rational Quadratic Forms

Über die analytische Theorie der quadratischen Formen II

In this paper we give explicit lower bounds for an integer m to be represented by a positive definite integral quadratic form Q in n≥3 variables defined over ℚ. As an example, we apply these bounds to answer affirmatively the long-standing conjecture of Kneser that the only positive integers not represented by x2+3y2+5z2+7w2 are 2 and 22. When n=3, the existence of spinor square classes and the possible existence of a Siegel zero complicates the estimate and requires us to restrict m to a finite union of square classes in order to obtain explicit constants. In this setting, we obtain a lower bound and asymptotics for the number of representations of m by Q, even within a spinor square class. These methods can be easily generalized to obtain similar results for the representability of integers by a totally definite quadratic form over a totally real number field, and we carry out our local analysis in this generality. We also describe how to generalize these results to handle congruence conditions and representability by a rational quadratic polynomial.

Local densities and explicit bounds for representability by a quadratic form

In a series of recent papers, G. Shimura obtained an exact formula for the mass of a maximal lattice in a quadratic or hermitian space over a totally real number field. Using Bruhat-Tits theory, we obtain a quick and more conceptual proof of his formula when the form is totally definite.

We prove that, on average, the monogenicity or $n$-monogenicity of a cubic field has an altering effect on the behavior of the 2-torsion in its class group.
