Abstract
In the theory of integral quadratic forms or the related theory such as modular forms, it is important to give examples of forms with given discriminant for various computational purposes. However, little is known about this problem even in the case where the explicit formula for the class number has been given. Among the works that deal with satisfactorily many examples or give a constructive method of them, there are [1] for ternary forms, and [5] for quaternary forms with square discriminants. As for quaternary forms with prime discriminant, P. Ponomarev [8] gave an explicit way to construct such forms from ternary forms with discriminant 2q. It was based on the result of his previous work [7] and that of Y. Kitaoka [6], but was rather complicated.
