Kitaoka's Conjecture for quadratic fields

Number Theory 2025-02-03 v1

Abstract

We prove that there are at most 13 real quadratic fields that admit a ternary universal quadratic lattice, thus establishing a strong version of Kitaoka's Conjecture for quadratic fields. More generally, we obtain explicit upper bounds on the discriminants of real quadratic fields with a quadratic lattice of rank at most 7 that represents all totally positive multiples of a fixed integer.
