Abstract
For a (positive definite and integral) quadratic form , a quadratic form is said to be {\it an isolation of from its proper subforms} if it represents all proper subforms of , but not itself. It was proved that the minimal rank of isolations of the square quadratic form is three, and there are exactly ternary diagonal isolations of . Recently, it was proved that any quaternary quadratic form cannot be an isolation of the sum of two squares , and there are quinary isolations of . In this article, we prove that there are at most quinary isolations of , which are listed in Table . Moreover, we prove that quinary quadratic forms with dagger mark in Table are isolations of .
