Abstract

In this paper, we study the unary Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic fields. Let E=Q(d)E=\mathbb{Q}\big(\sqrt{-d}\big) be an imaginary quadratic field for a square-free positive integer dd, and let O\mathcal{O} be its ring of integers. For each positive integer mm, let ImI_m be the free Hermitian lattice over O\mathcal{O} with an orthonormal basis, let Sd(1)\mathfrak{S}_d(1) be the set consisting of all positive definite integral unary Hermitian lattices over O\mathcal{O} that can be represented by some ImI_m, and let gd(1)g_d(1) be the smallest positive integer such that all Hermitian lattices in Sd(1)\mathfrak{S}_d(1) can be represented by Igd(1)I_{g_d(1)} uniformly. The main results of this paper determine the explicit form of Sd(1)\mathfrak{S}_d(1) and the exact value of gd(1)g_d(1) for every imaginary quadratic field EE with class number 22 or 33.
