Review text

Let \(L\) be a quadratic lattice over a number field \(F\). We lift the lattice \(L\) along a \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension of \(F\) and investigate the growth of the number of spinor genera in the genus of \(L\). Let \(L_n\) be the lattice obtained from \(L\) by extending scalars to the \(n\)-th layer of the \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension. We show that, under various conditions on \(L\) and \(F\), the number of spinor genera in the genus of \(L_n\) is \(2^{\eta p^n+O(1)}\) where \(\eta\) is some rational number depending on \(L\) and the \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extension. The work involves Iwasawa's theory of \(\mathbb{Z}_p\)-extensions and explicit calculation of spinor norm groups of local integral rotations.
