WP5 toolkit: diagonal Hasse–Minkowski for rank ≥ 5 #
This file collects the two "one-step" tools of the rank-n ≥ 5 induction of Serre IV.2
(see Plan-v3.md §WP5). The final rank ≥ 5 theorem is proved elsewhere; here we supply
- WP5.1 — over an odd prime, a ternary diagonal form whose three weights are
p-adic units is isotropic, and hence so is any diagonal form with at least three unit weights; - WP5.2 — the openness of the nonzero square classes of
ℝandℚ_[p](a number close enough to a nonzeroa₀hasa / a₀a square), and the vector form of weak approximation forℚ(a rational vector can be found close to prescribed local vectors).
The rank-three criterion of RankCriteria.lean together with hilbertSym_padicInt_units
turns the local isotropy into the vanishing of a Hilbert symbol of two p-adic units.
WP5.1 — three unit weights over an odd prime #
WP5.2 — openness of square classes and vector approximation #
The rank-four input of the high-rank induction #
The rank-n ≥ 5 induction of Serre IV.2 bottoms out at rank 4, so HighRank.lean is stated
relative to the following Prop, which is exactly the diagonal rank-four Hasse–Minkowski
theorem that RankFour.lean (WP4.2) proves. Keeping it as an explicit hypothesis lets the
high-rank induction be developed and checked independently of the rank-four proof.
Diagonal rank-four Hasse–Minkowski over ℚ: a diagonal rank-four form with nonzero
rational weights that is isotropic over every p-adic completion and over ℝ is isotropic
over ℚ. This is the WP4.2 statement, recorded as a Prop so that the rank-≥ 5
induction can be stated against it.

WP5.3 — algebraic splitting of a weighted sum of squares #
The induction writes ⟨w₀, …, w_{n-1}⟩ as ⟨w₀, w₁⟩ ⊥ (w₂, …, w_{n-1}). These lemmas
realise that split on the level of vectors, so that local isotropy of the big form can be
read off by prod_isotropic_iff.
WP5.3 — the quantitative closeness bound #
WP5.3 — the finite set of bad primes #
The finite set of primes dividing the numerator or denominator of some weight, together
with 2. Off this set every weight is a p-adic unit.

Diagonal Hasse–Minkowski over ℚ in rank n ≥ 5: a diagonal form with nonzero rational
weights that is isotropic over every p-adic completion and over ℝ is isotropic over ℚ.
This is the WP5.3 statement, recorded as a Prop so that the assembly of hasseMinkowski
(WP6.2) can be developed against it while the induction is proved.
