Isometries of semi-orthogonal forms on a Z-module of rank 3
Creators
Description
We study the isometry groups of semi-orthogonal forms (that is, forms whose Gram matrix in some basis is upper triangular with ones on the diagonal) on a Z-module of rank 3. Such forms have a discrete parameter: the height (the trace of the dualizing operator + 3). We prove that the isometry group is either Z or Z2×Z, list all the cases when it is a direct product and describe the generator of order 2 in that case. We also describe a generator of infinite order for many particular values of the height.
