Diagonal conic with no points mod $p$

49 Views Asked by At

What is the smallest prime $p$ for which there exists a quadratic form

$$Q=aX^2+bY^2+cZ^2 \quad (a,b,c \in \mathbf F_p \setminus \{0\} )$$

such that the conic $\{Q=0\}$ has no points in $\mathbf P^2(\mathbf F_p)$?

(This may well be judged "not research-level". For what it's worth, I searched online and asked a couple of colleagues, but without success.)
