Consider a primitive, length-three arithmetic progression of square integers, {a2, b2, c2}, that is: b2 − a2 = c2 − b2 with a, b, c ∈ N, a ≤ b ≤ c and all three integers are pairwise relatively prime. We observe that length-three is the shortest length sequence for which the term arithmetic progression is at all meaningful.

Consider a primitive, length-three arithmetic progression of square integers, {a2, b2, c2}, that is: b2 − a2 = c2 − b2 with a, b, c ∈ N, a ≤ b ≤ c and all three integers are pairwise relatively prime. We observe that length-three is the shortest length sequence for which the term arithmetic progression is at all meaningful. We also know (due to Euler[1], among others) that there are not any such nontrivial progressions longer than length-three. So henceforth we are going to just drop the term length-three as being redundant, and we will further abbreviate arithmetic progressions as APs.

We have devised a way of counting the number of APs of primitive integer squares given certain restrictions to the size of the integers.

Since b2 − a2 = c2 − b2,

SLIDE 9

Since b2 − a2 = c2 − b2, we observe that a2 + c2 = 2b2 ⇔ a b 2 + c b 2 = 2. So we have a bijection between primitive APs of integer squares and rational points in an octant of a circle of radius √ 2.

Since b2 − a2 = c2 − b2, we observe that a2 + c2 = 2b2 ⇔ a b 2 + c b 2 = 2. So we have a bijection between primitive APs of integer squares and rational points in an octant of a circle of radius √ 2.

whether or not {h, m, 2m − h} is an arithmetic progression of primitive squares since m − h = (2m − h) − m. In particular, we are able to derive a meromorphic continuation of D(s, w) to all (s, w) ∈ C2 by means of a spectral expansion. Once we have a thorough understanding of the analytic behavior of the above series, we can obtain our aforementioned asymptotic results by carefully taking inverse Mellin transforms. To do this, we will take advantage of the automorphic properties of theta functions.

But we can obtain slight improvements on our error terms by using known subconvexity bounds for L(s, η2m): L(s, η2m) ≪ (1 + |s + itm|)α(1 + |s − itm|)α. where α ≤ 1

In particular, all of the 3

1-4 can be replaced with 1

The current best-known progress for α [6] is α ≤ 103

an exponent of 359

we can assume α = 0 which would yield and exponent of 1

Notably, the techniques for obtaining the spectral expansion of D(s, w) could be generally applied to obtain the spectral expansion of any sum of the form:
