Abstract

It is proved here that, if G is a positive definite integral ternary quadratic lattice of discriminant d and c is a squarefree integer which is primitively represented by the genus of G, then G primitively represents all sufficiently large integers of the type ct2, with g.c.d. (t, 2d) = 1, which are primitively represented by the spinor genus of G.
