Arithmetic of Hermitian forms
Documenta mathematica, Tome 13 (2008), pp. 739-774
We investigate the following two problems on a hermitian form Φ over an algebraic number field: (1) classification of Φ over the ring of algebraic integers; (2) hermitian Diophantine equations. The same types of problems for quadratic forms were treated in the author's previous articles. Here we discuss the hermitian case. Problem (2) concerns an equation ξΦ⋅tξρ=Ψ, where Φ and Ψ represent hermitian forms. We connect the number of such ξ modulo a group of units with the class number and mass of the unitary group of a form Θ such that Φ≈Ψ⊕Θ.
