Sums of quaternion squares and a theorem of Watson

Tim Banks, Spencer Hamblen, Tim Sherwin and Sal Wright

Vol. 14 (2021), No. 5, 783–792
Abstract

We use a representability theorem of G. L. Watson to examine sums of squares in quaternion rings with integer coefficients. This allows us to determine a large family of such rings where every element expressible as the sum of squares can be written as the sum of three squares.
