The Fifteen Theorem for Universal Hermitian Lattices over Imaginary Quadratic Fields


Abstract in English

We will introduce a method to get all universal Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic fields over $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{-m})$ for all m. For each imaginary quadratic field $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{-m})$, we obtain a criterion on universality of Hermitian lattices: if a Hermitian lattice L represents 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13,14 and 15, then L is universal. We call this the fifteen theorem for universal Hermitian lattices. Note that the difference between Conway-Schneebergers fifteen theorem and ours is the number 13.
