Conjectured existence of universal ternary lattices over thirteen real quadratic fields

From papers

Let DD be a positive squarefree integer, let

F=Q(D),F=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D}),

and let OF\mathcal{O}_F denote the ring of integers of FF. A universal ternary OF\mathcal{O}_F-lattice is a universal quadratic lattice of rank 33 over OF\mathcal{O}_F. Existence conjecture. If

D{2,3,5,6,7,10,13,17,21,33,41,65,77},D\in\{2,3,5,6,7,10,13,17,21,33,41,65,77\},

then there exists a universal ternary OF\mathcal{O}_F-lattice. The preceding theorem proves that these are the only possible values of DD for real quadratic fields, but the converse remains conjectural.
