Rational form invariants of an integral lattice #

A nondegenerate integral lattice has two determinant invariants: its signed integral Gram determinant and the square-class discriminant of its ambient rational quadratic form. This file identifies them. It also records the signed square-class invariant, whose additional factor is determined solely by the rank.

The comparison lets arithmetic invariants of the rational quadratic space be read directly from an integral Gram matrix. It is the bridge between the determinant theory of integral lattices and the regular-form invariants used in local and global classification.

Instances For

    Unfolding the rational form class to the class of the ambient norm quadratic form.

    @[simp]

    The rank of the rational form class is the rank of the lattice carrier.

    The matrix of the ambient norm form in the rationalized carrier basis is the cast of the integral Gram matrix.

    The discriminant of the ambient rational form is the square class of the signed integral Gram determinant.

    The signed discriminant of the ambient rational form is the determinant square class with the standard rank-dependent sign correction.

    An integral-lattice isometry preserves the regular class of the ambient rational form.
