We classify all totally real number fields of degree at most 5 that admit a universal quadratic form with rational integer coefficients; in fact, there are none over the previously unsolved cases of quartic and quintic fields. This fully settles the lifting problem for universal forms in degrees at most 5. The main tool behind the proof is a computationally intensive classification of fields in which every multiple of 2 is the sum of squares. We further extend these results to some real cyclotomic fields of large degrees and prove Kitaoka's conjecture for them.

  1. Kitaoka's Conjecture and sums of squares

    math.NT 2025-10 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The only totally real number field with odd discriminant admitting a universal ternary classical quadratic form is Q(√5).

  2. Escalations and criteria over real quadratic fields

    math.NT 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors generalize the escalation method to number fields, prove finiteness of criterion sets, and compute, conjecturally and in one case exactly, the analogue of the 15-Theorem over Q(√2), Q(√3), and Q(√5).
