On the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class

Kevin J. McGown (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...

Polar lattices from the point of view of nuclear spaces.

Wojciech Banaszczyk (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The aim of this survey article is to show certain questions concerning nuclear spaces and linear operators in normed spaces lead to questions from geometry of numbers.

Primitive minima of positive definite quadratic forms

Aloys Krieg (1993)

Acta Arithmetica

The main purpose of the reduction theory is to construct a fundamental domain of the unimodular group acting discontinuously on the space of positive definite quadratic forms. This fundamental domain is for example used in the theory of automorphic forms for GLₙ (cf. [11]) or in the theory of Siegel modular forms (cf. [1], [4]). There are several ways of reduction, which are usually based on various minima of the quadratic form, e.g. the Korkin-Zolotarev method (cf. [10], [3]), Venkov's method...
