Abstract
We generalise earlier results of John Cremona and the author on the reduction theory of binary forms, whose zeros give point clusters in , to point clusters in projective spaces of arbitrary dimension. In particular, we show how to find a reduced representative in the SL()-orbit of a given cluster. As an application, we show how one can find a unimodular transformation that produces a small equation for a given smooth plane curve.
