Let E/F be a finite extension of algebraic number fields, OE, OF the maximal orders of E, F respectively. A classical theorem of Springer [6] asserts that an anisotropic quadratic space over F remains anisotropic over E if the degree [E: F] is odd. From this follows that regular quadratic spaces U, V over F are isometric if they are isometric over E and [E : F] is odd. Earnest and Hsia treated similar problems for the spinor genera [2, 3]. We are concerned with the quadratic lattices. Let L, M be quadratic lattices over OF in regular quadratic spaces U, V over F respectively.
