Klein polyhedra for the fourth extremal cubic form (Q1581464): Difference between revisions

Let \(L=A\mathbb{Z}^3\) be a three-dimensional lattice with determinant \(d(L)=|\det A|=|\det(a_{ik}) |>0\) and consider the homogeneous minimum \[ \mu(L)= \inf \Biggl\{|\prod^3_{i=1} \biggl(\sum^3_{k=1} a_{ik}u_k\biggr)|: (u_1, u_2,u_3)\in \mathbb{Z}^3\setminus \{0\} \Biggr\}. \] Davenport and Swinnerton-Dyer found the absolute maximum and a sequence of isolated maxima in the spectrum of values of \(\mu(L)\). They are attained by certain lattices which are generated by totally real algebraic number fields.
