Diophantine Methods, Lattices, and Arithmetic Theory of Quadratic Forms: International Workshop Banff International Research Station November 13-18, ... Alberta, Canada

Nineteen papers from the November 2011 workshop present new developments in the algebraic theory of quadratic forms and lattices, Diophantine problems and the theory of height functions, and extremal lattice theory. The contributors investigate spherical theta designs, representations of integral quadratic polynomials, dense lattices as Hermitian tensor products, and small zeros of homogeneous cubic congruences. Other topics include the number of function fields with given genus, unique factorization in the theory of quadratic forms, golden lattices, strict periodic extreme lattices, and generators of number fields.
