Let

K
. We show that there is the Shimura lifting map of a space of Hilbert modular forms with character modulo

as sums of three integral squares.
Let

, and prove that for any given
k
we can find infinitely many values of
n

For each nonnegative integer n, r_3(n) denotes the number of representations of n by sums of three squares. Here presented is a two-step recursive scheme for computing r_3(n), n ≥ 0.

For a positive integer k and a certain arithmetic progression A, there exist infinitely many quadratic fields \mathbf{Q}(\sqrt{-d}) whose class numbers are divisible by k and d\in A. From this, we ...have a linear congruence of the representation numbers of integers as sums of three squares.
