Abstract: Abstract The history of the theory of group characters begins with Gauss. In Sections 228–233 of his “Disquisitiones arithmeticae”, Gauss discusses the question: What kind of integers n can or cannot be represented by a given binary quadratic form (1) F = ax 2 + 2bxy + cy 2 with integer coefficients a, b, c?
