Isospectral definite ternary \(\mathbb F_q[t]\)-lattices (Q838452)

The authors prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over \(\mathbb F_q[t]\), where \(\mathbb F_q\) is a finite field of odd characteristic. They determine its integral equivalence class when \(q\) is large enough with respect to its successive minima. Equivalently, such a quadratic form is determined up to integral isometry by its theta series. Thereby the authors prove an analogue of a theorem of \textit{A. Schiemann} [Math. Ann. 308, No. 3, 507--517 (1997; Zbl 0876.11029)] who proved by means of extensive computations that definite ternary \(\mathbb Z\)-lattices are indeed determined by their representation numbers.
