Arithmetic of Hermitian Forms
We investigate the following two problems on a hermitian form Φ over an algebraic number field: (1) classification of Φ over the ring of algebraic integers; (2) hermitian Diophantine equations. The same types of problems for quadratic forms were treated in the author’s previous articles. Here we discuss the hermitian case. Problem (2) concerns an equation ξΦ · ξ = Ψ , where Φ and Ψ represent he...
متن کاملSmall Zeros of Hermitian Forms over a Quaternion Algebra
Let D be a positive definite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field K, F (X, Y ) a hermitian form in 2N variables over D, and Z a right D-vector space which is isotropic with respect to F . We prove the existence of a small-height basis for Z over D, such that F (X, X) vanishes at each of the basis vectors. This constitutes a non-commutative analogue of a theorem of Vaaler [19], an...
متن کاملSignatures of Hermitian Forms
Signatures of quadratic forms over formally real fields have been generalized in [BP2] to hermitian forms over central simple algebras with involution over such fields. This was achieved by means of an application of Morita theory and a reduction to the quadratic form case. A priori, signatures of hermitian forms can only be defined up to sign, i.e., a canonical definition of signature is not p...
متن کاملUniversal binary Hermitian forms
We will determine (up to equivalence) all of the integral positive definite Hermitian lattices in imaginary quadratic fields of class number 1 that represent all positive integers.
متن کاملArithmetic of Quadratic Forms
has a solution in Fn. The representation problem of quadratic forms is to determine, in an effective manner, the set of elements of F that are represented by a particular quadratic form over F . We shall discuss the case when F is a field of arithmetic interest, for instance, the field of complex numbers C, the field of real numbers R, a finite field F, and the field of rational numbers Q. The ...
