Five regular or nearly-regular ternary quadratic forms

Strictly Hermitian Positive Definite Functions

Let H be any complex inner product space with inner product < ·, · >. We say that f : | C → | C is Hermitian positive definite on H if the matrix ( f(< z,z >) )n r,s=1 (∗) is Hermitian positive definite for all choice of z, . . . ,z in H, all n. It is strictly Hermitian positive definite if the matrix (∗) is also non-singular for any choice of distinct z, . . . ,z in H. In this article we prove...

Signatures 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...

Universal 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.
