Efficient enumeration of quadratic lattices
Abstract
We present an algorithm to enumerate isometry classes of integral quadratic lattices of a given rank and determinant, and analyze its running time by giving bounds on the number of genus symbols for a fixed rank and determinant. We build on previous work of Kirschmer, Brandhorst, Hanke, and Dubey and Holenstein. We analyze the running times of their respective algorithms and compare the practical performance of their implementations with our own. Our implementations are publicly available.
