In a recent paper [9] the author showed (among other results) estimates on the asymptotic behaviour of the representation numbers of positive definite integral ternary quadratic forms, in particular, that for n in a fixed square class tZ2 and lattices L, K in the same spinor genus one has . The main tool utilized for the proof was the theory of modular forms of weight 3/2, especially Shimura’s lifting from the space of cusp forms of weight 3/2 to the space of modular forms of weight 2.
