Abstract:
We study the isometry groups of semi-orthogonal forms (that is, forms
whose Gram matrix in some basis is upper triangular with ones on the
diagonal) on a $\mathbb Z$-module of rank 3. Such forms have a discrete
parameter: the height (the trace of the dualizing operator + 3). We prove
that the isometry group is either $\mathbb Z$ or
$\mathbb Z_2\times\mathbb Z$, list all the cases when it is
a direct product and describe the generator of order 2 in that case.
We also describe a generator of infinite order for many particular
values of the height.
