One-class genera of positive quadratic forms in nine and ten variables
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2010
Extract
Let f be a positive-definite quadratic form with integer coefficients, and denote by c(f) (≥ 1) the class-number of f, that is, the number of classes in the genus of f. I showed in [4] that c(f) ≥ 2 for every f in n ≥ 11 variables; the transformations of [3] were used to make the problem easier. I have since sought to find all the one-class n-ary genera with 3 ≤ n ≤ 10 (the case n = 1 is trivial, and n = 2 is very difficult).
