Arithmetic of Hermitian Forms
We investigate the following two problems on a hermitian form Φ over an algebraic number field: (1) classification of Φ over the ring of algebraic integers; (2) hermitian Diophantine equations. The same types of problems for quadratic forms were treated in the author’s previous articles. Here we discuss the hermitian case. Problem (2) concerns an equation ξΦ · ξ = Ψ , where Φ and Ψ represent he...
متن کاملSignatures of Hermitian Forms
Signatures of quadratic forms over formally real fields have been generalized in [BP2] to hermitian forms over central simple algebras with involution over such fields. This was achieved by means of an application of Morita theory and a reduction to the quadratic form case. A priori, signatures of hermitian forms can only be defined up to sign, i.e., a canonical definition of signature is not p...
متن کاملUniversal binary Hermitian forms
We will determine (up to equivalence) all of the integral positive definite Hermitian lattices in imaginary quadratic fields of class number 1 that represent all positive integers.
متن کاملArithmetic of Quadratic Forms
has a solution in Fn. The representation problem of quadratic forms is to determine, in an effective manner, the set of elements of F that are represented by a particular quadratic form over F . We shall discuss the case when F is a field of arithmetic interest, for instance, the field of complex numbers C, the field of real numbers R, a finite field F, and the field of rational numbers Q. The ...
متن کاملHermitian Forms over Ordered ∗-fields
Let D be a division ring with an involution. Assuming that D admits Baer orderings, we can study the Witt group of hermitian froms over D by observing its image in the ring of continuous functions on the space of orderings. We are led to define a new class of rings which, when viewed in an abstract setting, provide a natural generalization of the spaces of orderings and real spectra studied in ...
