A Finiteness theorem for positive definite strictly $n$-regular quadratic forms

Abstract: An integral quadratic form is called strictly $n$-regular if it primitively represents all quadratic forms in $n$ variables that are primitively represented by its genus. For any $n \geq 2$, it will be shown that there are only finitely many similarity classes of positive definite strictly $n$-regular integral quadratic forms in $n + 4$ variables. This extends the recent finiteness results for strictly regular quaternary quadratic forms by Earnest-Kim-Meyer (2014).
