Book Description:

The two main themes of the book are quadratic Diophantine equations, and Euler products and Eisenstein series on orthogonal groups and Clifford groups. Whereas the latest chapters of the book contain new results, a substantial portion of it is devoted to expository material related to themes such as Witt's theorem and the Hasse principle on quadratic forms, algebraic theory of Clifford algebras, spin groups, and spin representations.
