Genera of Integer Lattices

Two $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices $M$ and $N$ are said to be in the same genus if their completions $M \otimes \mathbb{Z}_p$ and $N \otimes \mathbb{Z}_p$ are isometric for all prime numbers $p$ as well as $M \otimes \mathbb{R} \cong N\otimes \mathbb{R}$.

The genus of a $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice is encoded in its Conway-Sloane genus symbol. The genus symbol itself is a collection of its local genus symbols. See J. H. Conway, N. J. A. Sloane (1999) Chapter 15 for the definitions. Note that genera for non-integral lattices are supported.

The class ZGenus supports genera of $\mathbb{Z}$-lattices.

Local genus Symbols

# ZpGenus — Type.

ZpGenus

Local genus symbol over a p-adic ring.

The genus symbol of a component p^m A for odd prime = p is of the form (m,n,d), where

• m = valuation of the component
• n = rank of A
• d = det(A) \in \{1,u\} for a normalized quadratic non-residue u.

The genus symbol of a component 2^m A is of the form (m, n, s, d, o), where

• m = valuation of the component
• n = rank of A
• d = det(A) in {1,3,5,7}
• s = 0 (or 1) if even (or odd)
• o = oddity of A (= 0 if s = 0) in Z/8Z = the trace of the diagonalization of A

The genus symbol is a list of such symbols (ordered by m) for each of the Jordan blocks A_1,...,A_t.
