Coxeter invariants for non-negative unit forms of Dynkin type A

Abstract

Two integral quadratic unit forms are called strongly Gram congruent if their upper triangular Gram matrices are Z-congruent. The paper gives a combinatorial strong Gram invariant for those unit forms that are non-negative of Dynkin type A, within the framework introduced in [Fundamenta Informaticae 184(1):49-82, 2021], and uses it to determine all corresponding Coxeter polynomials and (reduced) Coxeter numbers.
