Extract

Unless stated otherwise all quadratic forms have rational integer coefficients and all representations are integral representations. For positive binary quadratic forms of the same discriminant it is known that two such forms are equivalent provided they represent the same integers. See, for instance, [Ki2], and for a sharper extension [W2]. On the other hand, in the quaternary case these value-sets are far from characterizing the forms even within a genus. It is therefore natural to ask for positive ternary forms the corresponding question, whose answer appears to be unknown.
