Sesquilinear forms over rings with involution
Many classical results concerning quadratic forms have been extended to Hermitian forms over algebras with involution. However, not much is known in the case of sesquilinear formswithout any symmetry property. The present paperwill establish aWitt cancellation result, an analogue of Springer’s theorem, as well as some local–global and finiteness results in this context. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All...

متن کاملA Primer on Sesquilinear Forms
The dot product is an important tool for calculations in Rn. For instance, we can use it to measure distance and angles. However, it doesn’t come from just the vector space structure on Rn – to define it implicitly involves a choice of basis. In Math 67, you may have studied inner products on real vector spaces and learned that this is the general context in which the dot product arises. Now, w...
متن کاملOn hermitian trace forms over hilbertian fields
Let k be a field of characteristic different from 2. Let E/k be a finite separable extension with a k-linear involution σ. For every σ-symmetric element μ ∈ E∗, we define a hermitian scaled trace form by x ∈ E 7→ TrE/k(μxx). If μ = 1, it is called a hermitian trace form. In the following, we show that every even-dimensional quadratic form over a hilbertian field, which is not isomorphic to the ...
متن کاملCanonical matrices of bilinear and sesquilinear forms
Canonical matrices are given for • bilinear forms over an algebraically closed or real closed field; • sesquilinear forms over an algebraically closed field and over real quaternions with any nonidentity involution; and • sesquilinear forms over a field F of characteristic different from 2 with involution (possibly, the identity) up to classification of Hermitian forms over finite extensions of...
