An upper bound on the number of perfect quadratic forms

In a recent publication Roland Bacher showed that the number

p_{d}

of non-similar perfect d-dimensional quadratic forms satisfies

e^{Ω (d)} < p_{d} < e^{O (d^{3} \log (d))}

. We improve the upper bound to

e^{O (d^{2} \log (d))}

by a volumetric argument based on Voronoi's first reduction theory.
