متن کاملApplications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms
In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.

متن کاملAround 16 - Dimensional Quadratic Forms in I
We determine the indexes of all orthogonal Grassmannians of a generic 16dimensional quadratic form in I q . This is applied to show that the 3-Pfister number of the form is ≥ 4. Other consequences are: a new and characteristic-free proof of a recent result by Chernousov–Merkurjev on proper subforms in I q (originally available in characteristic 0) as well as a new and characteristic-free proof ...
