Single-class genera of positive integral lattices
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2013
Abstract
We give an enumeration of all positive definite primitive $ \mathbb{Z} $-lattices in dimension $n\geq 3$ whose genus consists of a single isometry class. This is achieved by using bounds obtained from the Smith–Minkowski–Siegel mass formula to computationally construct the square-free determinant lattices with this property, and then repeatedly calculating pre-images under a mapping first introduced by G. L. Watson.
We hereby complete the classification of single-class genera in dimensions 4 and 5 and correct some mistakes in Watson’s classifications in other dimensions. A list of all single-class primitive $ \mathbb{Z} $-lattices has been compiled and incorporated into the Catalogue of Lattices.
