Let Q be an n x n symmetric matrix with integral entries and with det Q ≠ O, but not necesarily positive definite. We describe a generalized LLL algorithm to reduce this quadratic form. This algorithm ...

The cumulants of a quadratic form in n independent standardized variables are identified with the traces of the powers of the matrix of the form. This identification leads to some very simple proofs ...
