Abstract:Let $F=mathbf{Q}(sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic field over Q with m a square-free positive rational integer and $mathcal{O}$ be the integer ring in F. A totally positive definite integral n-ary quadratic form f=f(x 1,…,x n )=∑1≤i,jn α ij x i x j ( $alpha_{ij}=alpha_{ji}in mathcal{O}$ ) is called universal if f represents all totally positive integers in $mathcal{O}$ . Chan, Kim and Raghavan proved that ternary universal forms over F exist if and only if m=2,3,5 and determined all such forms. There exists no ternary universal form over real quadratic fields whose discriminants are greater than 12. In this paper we prove that there are only two quaternary universal forms (up to equivalence) over $mathbf{Q}(sqrt{13})$ . For the proof of universality we apply the theory of quadratic lattices.
