The author studies constructions of indecomposable positive definite Hermitian forms over the ring of integers \(D-m\) of an imaginary quadratic field \(\mathbb{Q}\sqrt{-m}\). He shows that for all but (at least) 19 exceptions positive integers \(n\), \(d\), \(m\) with \(m\) square-free there exist positive definite Hermitian \(D-m\)-lattices of rank \(n\) and discriminant \(d\). The completeness of the list of exceptions is based on the generalized Riemann conjecture and the result of \textit{M. Peters} [Arch. Math. 57, 467-468 (1991; Zbl 0746.11022)].
