Abstract

Go to

A (positive definite integral) quadratic form is called {\it even $2$-universal} if it represents all even quadratic forms of rank $2$. In this article, we prove that there are at most $55$ even $2$-universal even quadratic forms of rank $5$. The proofs of even $2$-universalities of some candidates will be given so that exactly $20$ candidates remain unproven.

Keywords: Even $2$-universal quadratic form
