Verifying my other example in the Geometry of Numbers and Quadratic Forms
It's strange that I didn't see this question before, since Will and I have started thinking about these issues off-site. Anyway, recently I found (in the sense of located, not discovered) the answer …

Class number for binary quadratic forms discriminant $\Delta$ to class number $\mathbb Q(\sq...
I have always been fuzzier on the theory of indefinite binary forms than the definite theory. This may come from the fact that I got to learn the definite theory by teaching a course out of Cox's boo …

Is -1 a sum of 2 squares in a certain field K?
This is a special case of a theorem of A. Pfister. It is well known to quadratic forms specialists. See e.g. Theorem XI.2.6 in T.Y. Lam's Introduction to Quadratic Forms over Fields.
I believe th …

Non-representability by a binary quadratic form
Take $K = k((t))$ (formal Laurent series field) and apply Proposition V.2.3 of Serre's Local Fields to the unramified quadratic extension $Kl/K$. (Note that separability of $l/k$ is needed so that $K …
