Classification of unimodular localizations at odd primes #
When the signed determinants of two integral lattices are units at an odd prime, their integral
localizations are isometric exactly when they have equal ranks and their determinants agree
modulo squares in ℤ_p. Global unimodularity is unnecessary: the hypotheses concern the local
determinants alone. The isometry preserves the actual integral forms on ℤ_p ⊗[ℤ] L.
The forward implication holds at every prime and without any determinant-unit hypothesis.

A lattice whose determinant is a unit at p has a unimodular localization. The localized
integral form is then a perfect pairing on ℤ_p ⊗[ℤ] L.
Integrally isometric localizations have equal ranks and determinant products that are squares, at every prime and without any determinant-unit hypothesis.
Integrally isometric localizations have signed determinants differing by the square of a
p-adic unit, at every prime and without any determinant-unit hypothesis.
Localizations unimodular at an odd prime are integrally isometric exactly when their ranks and determinant square classes agree. The input lattices need not be globally unimodular.
Lattices of equal rank and signed determinant have isometric integral localizations at every prime not dividing twice the absolute determinant.
