AbstractAn indefinite binary quadratic form ƒ gives rise to a certain function M on the torus. The properties of M, especially those related to its maximum – the so-called inhomogeneous minimum of ƒ – are the subject of numerous papers. Here we continue this study, putting more emphasis on the general behaviour of M.

The famous conjecture of Watson(11) on the minima of indefinite quadratic forms in n variables has been proved for n ≤ 5, n ≥ 21 and for signatures 0 and ± 1. For the details and history of the conjecture the reader is referred to the author's paper(8). In the succeeding paper (9), we prove Watson's conjecture for signature ± 2 and ± 3 and for all n. Thus only one case for n = 6 (i.e. forms of type (1, 5) or (5, 1)) remains to he proved which we do here; thereby completing the case n = 6. This result is also used in (9) for proving the conjecture for all quadratic forms of signature ± 4. More precisely, here we prove:Theorem 1. Let Q6(x1, …, x6) be a real indefinite quadratic form in six variables of determinant D ( < 0) and of type (5, 1) or (1, 5). Then given any real numbers ci, 1 ≤ i ≤ 6, there exist integers x1,…, x6such that

Let Qr be a real indefinite quadratic form in r variables of determinant D ≠ 0 and of type (r1, r2), 0 < r1 < r, r = r1 + r2, S = r1 − r2 being the signature of Qr. It is known (e.g. Blaney (3)) that, given any real numbers c1, c2,…, cr, there exists a constant C depending only on r and s such that the inequalityhas a solution in integers x1, x2, …, xr.

On behalf of the authors and the Press, the editor has to notify the following amendments.Volume 48 (1952), 72–86 and 519–20J. W. S. Cassels. ‘The inhomogeneous minimum of binary quadratic, ternary cubic and quaternary quartic forms.’Professor H. W. Lenstra Jr has pointed out that there is a mistake in the proof of Theorem 6, and that the constant 5300 must be replaced by the worse constant 16730. In (iii) of Lemma 16, k should be replaced by k2 and consequently k¼ by k½ in the display at the bottom of page 85. The new estimate results then from putting k = (2·35)2.

AbstractA new arithmetic invariant E(f) is defined for integral binary quadratic forms f. It has the property that, denoting by fm the norm-form of a quadratic number field Q(m), E(fm) < 1 if and only if Q(m) has class number one.

Let us suppose that ƒ(x, y) is an indefinite binary quadratic form that does not represent zero. If P is the real point (x0, y0) then we may define where the infimum is taken over all integral x, y. The inhomogeneous minimum of the form ƒ is defined where the supremum taken over all real points P, need only extend over some complete set of points, incongruent mod 1.

Let Q (x1, …, xn) be a real indefinite quadratic form in n-variables x1,…, xn with signature (r, s),r + s = n and determinant D ≠ 0. Then it is known (see Blaney (2)) that there exists constant Cr, s depending only on r, s such that given any real numbers c1, …,cn we can find integers x1, …, xn satisfying
