A Finiteness theorem for positive definite strictly $n$-regular quadratic forms

Number Theory 2017-06-14 v1

Abstract

An integral quadratic form is called strictly nn-regular if it primitively represents all quadratic forms in nn variables that are primitively represented by its genus. For any n2n \geq 2, it will be shown that there are only finitely many similarity classes of positive definite strictly nn-regular integral quadratic forms in n+4n + 4 variables. This extends the recent finiteness results for strictly regular quaternary quadratic forms by Earnest-Kim-Meyer (2014).
