Determinant groups of hermitian lattices over local fields

Number Theory 2019-04-10 v1

Abstract

We describe the determinants of the automorphism groups of hermitian lattices over local fields. Using a result of G. Shimura, this yields an explicit method to compute the special genera in a given genus of hermitian lattices over a number field.
