Let ξ, η, ζ be linear forms in u, v, w with real coefficients and determinant Δ ≠ 0. A conjecture of Minkowski, which was subsequently proved by Remak, tells us that for any real numbers a, b, c there exist integral values of u, v, w for whichand the constant ⅛ on the right is best possible.

For a real number λ, ‖λ‖ is the absolute value of the difference between λ and the nearest integer. Let X represent the m-tuple (x1, x2, … xm) and letbe any n linear forms in m variables, where the Θij are real numbers. The following is a classical result of Khintchine (1):For all pairs of positive integers m, n there is a positive constant Г(m, n) with the property that for any forms Lj(X) there exist real numbers α1, α2, …, αn such thatfor all integers x1, x2, …, xm not all zero.

Let L1, L2, L3 be three homogeneous linear forms in u, v, w with real coefficients and determinant 1. Let M denote the lower bound offor integral values of u, v, w, not all zero. I proved a few years ago (1) thatmore precisely, thatexcept when L1, L2, L3 are of a special type, in which case If we denote by θ, ø, ψ the roots of the cubic equation t3+t2-2t-1 = 0, the special linear forms are equivalent, by an integral unimodular linear transformation, to(in any order), where λ1,λ2,λ3 are real number whose product is In this case, L1L2L3|λ1λ2λ3 is a non-zero integer, and the minimum of its absolute value is 1, giving

Let Qn be a real indefinite quadratic form in n variables x1, x2,…, xn, of determinant D ≠ 0 and of type (r, s), 0 < r < n, n = r + s. Let σ denote the signature of Qn so that σ = r − s. It is known (see e.g. Blaney(4)) that, given any real numbers c1 c2, …, cn, there exists a constant C depending upon n and σ only such that the inequalityhas a solution in integers x1, x2, …, xn. Let Cr, s denote the infimum of all such constants. Clearly Cr, s = Cs, r, so we need consider non-negative signatures only. For n = 2, C1, 1 = ¼ follows from a classical result of Minkowski on the product of two linear forms. When n = 3, Davenport (5) proved that C2, 1 = 27/100. For all n and σ = 0, Birch (3) proved that Cr, r = ¼. In 1962, Watson(18) determined the values of Cr, s for all n ≥ 21 and for all signatures σ. He proved thatWatson also conjectured that (1·2) holds for all n ≥ 4. Dumir(6) proved Watson's conjecture for n = 4. For n = 5, it was proved by Hans-Gill and Madhu Raka(7, 8). The author (12) has proved the conjecture for σ = 1 and all n. In the preceding paper (13) we proved that C5, 1 = 1. In this paper we prove Watson's conjecture for σ = 2, 3 and 4.

A fundamental result in the theory of measure in the space Ω of real functions x(t) of a real variable t is the following theorem of Kolmogoroff:Theorem 1. Suppose that functions F(t1, …, tn; b1 …, bn) = F(t; b) are defined for positive integers n and real numbers t1, …, tn, b1, …, bn, and have the following properties:(1·1) For every fixedt1, …, tn, F(t; b) has non-negative differenceswith respect to the variables bl, b2,…, bn, and is continuous on the right with respect to each of them;if (i1, …, in) is any permutation of (1, 2, …, n). Then a measure P(X) can be defined in a Borel system of subsets of Ω in such a way that the set of functions satisfyingis measurable for any realbi, tiand has measure F(t; b).
