A lower bound for the rank of a universal quadratic form with integer coefficients in a totally real number field

A lower bound for the rank of a universal quadratic form with integer coefficients in a totally real number field

We show that if K is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over K . In particular, we extend the work of Blomer and Kala, to show that …
