Abstract
Let be a definite quaternion algebra over , with discriminant , and a maximal order of . We show that the minimum of the positive definite hamiltonian binary forms over with discrimiminant is . When the different of is principal, we provide an explicit form representing this minimum, and when is principal, we give the list of the equivalence classes of all such forms. We also give criteria and algorithms to determine when the different of is principal.
