Tensor products of hermitian lattices

Renaud Coulangeon (2000)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. The properties of euclidean lattices with respect to tensor product have been studied in a series of papers by Kitaoka ([K, Chapter 7], [K1]). A rather natural problem which was investigated there, among others, was the determination of the short vectors in the tensor product L οtimes M of two euclidean lattices L and M. It was shown for instance that up to dimension 43 these short vectors are split, as one might hope. The present paper deals with a similar question...

Ternary quadratic forms ax² + by² + cz² representing all positive integers 8k + 4

Kenneth S. Williams (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Under the assumption that the ternary form x² + 2y² + 5z² + xz represents all odd positive integers, we prove that a ternary quadratic form ax² + by² + cz² (a,b,c ∈ ℕ) represents all positive integers n ≡ 4(mod 8) if and only if it represents the eight integers 4,12,20,28,52,60,140 and 308.
