The codimension-two spin-genus representation conjecture for quadratic forms
The codimension-two spin-genus representation conjecture for quadratic forms
Let and be integral quadratic forms with , and let
Assume that is primitively represented by an element of the spin genus of , and that . Codimension-two spin-genus representation conjecture. There exists a constant such that
implies that is primitively represented by . The local representation and minimum conditions are insufficient in codimension two because of spinor obstructions; the conjecture addresses whether the spin-genus condition becomes sufficient for sufficiently large minimum. Its case, concerning primitive representations of integers, has been established by Duke and Schulze-Pillot using estimates for Fourier coefficients of half-integral-weight forms, so the general statement is resolved only in that special case.
