Bounded version of linear and quadratic Hasse--Minkowski theorem
For the first question, the answer is yes; you can find the statement and a proof in Cassels (pp 86-89). A far reaching generalization was obtained by J. Vaaler in 1987 concerning the height of a tot …

Integer positive definite quadratic form as a sum of squares
I should add that there have been many results on this problem since the 1990s. The existence of the number $g(n)$ was established by Maria Icaza in her Ohio State 1992 thesis. You should check out …

On the orthogonal group of a lattice on a quadratic space over dyadic local field
I don't think that it is true for dyadic local fields. But I think in that case $O(L)$ is generated by symmetries and Eichler-transformations. Try the paper ``Generation of integral orthogonal group …

Integer positive definite quadratic form as a sum of squares
This is a well-known problem, called the Waring's problem of integral quadratic forms. Every semi-positive definite quadratic form in $n \leq 5$ variables is a sum of $n + 3$ squares of linear forms. …

Methods to decide whether two positive definite ternary quadratic forms are in the same spin...
Magma can determine the spinor genera in a given genus (of course, within the range of forms that it can handle).

What's in the genus of the cubic lattice?
Both statements are well-known in the arithmetic theory of quadratic forms (aka integral lattices).
The first statement for $n \leq 5$ is a consequence of Hermite's bound on the nonzero minimum of …

"Pythagoras number" for integral matrices
In Maria Icaza's Ohio State PhD thesis (1992?) she established the following result. For any positive integer $n$, let $S(n)$ be the set of $\mathbb Z$-lattices (or integral quadratic forms, if one p …

genus 2 Siegel theta series of 3-dimensional lattices
It is known, by Kitaoka's theory of characteristic sublattices, that if two lattices of rank $n$ with the same discriminant representing the same collection of lattices of rank $n - 1$, then the two l …

How to determine $O(L)$ is finite or not?
Maybe it is too late. A lattice has a finite orthogonal group if and only if it is definite or it is on the hyperbolic plane. This can be deduced from Satz (30.4) in Kneser's book Quadratische Forme …

orbits of automorphism group for indefinite lattices
It is in Kneser's book Quadratische Formen. For each r, there are only finitely many classes of representations of r by the lattice.

Quadratic forms and $p$-adic integers
Let $V$ be the $n$-dimensional quadratic space over $\mathbb Q_p$ corresponding to the sum of $n$ squares. The matrix $M$ can be viewed as the Gram matrix for a $\mathbb Z_p$-lattice $L$ on $V$. You …
