We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite quadratic lattices that represent all the multiples of a given rational integer. Our main tools are short vectors in quadratic lattices combined with an estimate for the number of periodic continued fractions with bounded coefficients.

  1. Kitaoka's Conjecture for quadratic fields

    math.NT 2025-01 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    At most 13 real quadratic fields admit a ternary universal quadratic lattice, and for several of these fields explicit universal lattices are constructed.

  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).
