LOCALLY PRIMITIVELY UNIVERSAL FORMS AND THE PRIMITIVE COUNTERPART TO THE FIFTEEN THEOREM

An n-dimensional integral quadratic form over Z is a polynomial of the form f = f(x1, … ,xn) =∑_(1≤i,j ≤n)▒a_ij x_i x_j, where a_ij=a_ji in Z. An integral quadratic form is called positive definite if f(α_1, …,α_n) > 0 whenever (0, … , 0) ≠(α_1, …,α_n) in Z^n. A positive definite integral quadrat...
