Reduction theory of binary forms

Number Theory 2015-02-24 v1

Abstract

In these lectures we give an introduction to the reduction theory of binary forms starting with quadratic forms with real coefficients, Hermitian forms, and then define the Julia quadratic for any degree nn binary form. A survey of a reduction algorithm over Z\mathbb Z is described based on recent work of Cremona and Stoll.
