Streszczenie
A quadratic form has a one-class spinor genus if its spinor genus consists of a single equivalence class. We determine that there is, up to equivalence, only one primitive integral positive definite quaternary quadratic form which has a one-class spinor genus but not a one-class genus. In all other cases, such quaternary forms either have a genus and spinor genus which coincide, or the genus splits into multiple spinor genera, which in turn split into multiple equivalence classes.
