Let L1, …, Ln be n homogeneous linear forms in n variables u1, …, un, with non-zero determinant Δ. Suppose that L1, …, Lr have real coefficients, that Lr+1, …, Lr+s have complex coefficients, and that the form Lr+s+j is the complex conjugate of the form Lr+j for j = 1, …, s, where r + 2s = n. Letfor integral u1, …, un, not all zero. For any n numbers α1, …, αn of the same ‘type’ as the forms L1, …, Ln (that is, α1, …, αr real, αr+1, …, αr+s complex, αr+s+j = ᾱr+j), let

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.

In this paper, we give a proof of the generalization of a result of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer [1956], which has been used by Hans-Gill, Sehmi and authors while obtaining estimates on the classical conjecture of Minkowski on the product of <em>n</em> non-homogeneous linear forms.

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


Isolation theorems for the minima of factorizable homogeneous ternary cubic forms and of indefinite ternary quadratic forms of a new strong type are proved. The problems whether there exist such forms with positive minima other than multiples of forms with integer coefficients are shown to be equivalent to problems in the geometry of numbers of a superficially different type. A contribution is made to the study of the problem whether there exist real <j>, ijr such that x(f>x—y | y[rx — z | has a positive lower bound for all integers x > 0, y , z . The methods used have wide validity.

Let θ be an algebraic number of degree n, with conjugates θ(1), …, θ(n), where θ(1), …, θ(r) are real and θ(r+j), θ(r+s+j) are complex conjugates for j = 1, …, s. [Here r ≥ 0, s ≥ 0, r + 2s = n.] Let ω1, …, ωn be a basis for the integers of k(θ), and set
