A characterization of tame Hilbert-symbol equivalence
We investigate the almost regular positive definite integral quaternary quadratic forms. In particular, we show that every such form is -anisotropic for at most one prime number . Moreover, for a prime there is an almost regular -anisotropic quaternary quadratic form if and only if . We also study the genera containing some almost regular -anisotropic quaternary form. We show several finiteness results concerning the families of these genera and give effective criteria for almost regularity....
