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.

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 Z, Q, C denote respectively the ring of rational integers, the field of rational numbers and the field of complex numbers. Minkowski (4) solved the problem of minimizingfor x, y ∈ Z(i) or Z(ρ), where a, b, c, d ∈ C have fixed determinant Δ ≠ 0. Here ρ = exp 2/3πi, and Z(i) and Z(p) are the rings of integers in Q(i) and Q(ρ) respectively. In fact he found the best possible resultsfor Z(i), andfor Z(ρ), wherewhile Buchner (1) used Minkowski's method to show thatfor Z(i√2). Hlawka(3) has also proved (1·2), and Cassels, Ledermann and Mahler (2) have proved both (1·2) and (1·3). In a paper being prepared jointly by H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer and the author, general problems of the geometry of numbers in complex space are discussed and a systematic method given for solving the above problem for all complex quadratic fields Q(ϑ). Here, ϑ is a non-real number satisfying. an irreduc7ible quadratic equation with rational coefficients. The above problem is solved in detail for Q(i√5), for whichand the ‘critical forms’ can be reduced to

AbstractLet Λ be a lattice in R3 of determinant 1. Define the homogeneous minium of Λ as mn (Λ) = inf |u1, u2, u3| extended over all points (u1, u2, u3) of Λ other than the origin. It is shown that for any given (c1, c2, c3) in R3 there exists a point (u1, u2, u3) of Λ for which provided that ρσ > 1/64 if mn (Λ) = 0, and ρσ ≥1/16.81 if mn (A) > 0.

Letbe n linear forms with real coefficients and determinant Δ = ∥ aij∥ ≠ 0; and denote by M(X) the lower bound of | X1X2 … Xn| over all integer sets (u) ≠ (0). It is well known that γn, the upper bound of M(X)/|Δ| over all sets of forms Xi, is finite, and the value of γn has been determined when n = 2 and n = 3.
