Applications 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 کاملSmall Zeros of Quadratic Forms
Let N ≥ 2 be an integer, F a quadratic form in N variables over Q, and Z ⊆ Q N an L-dimensional subspace, 1 ≤ L ≤ N . We prove the existence of a small-height maximal totally isotropic subspace of the bilinear space (Z, F ). This provides an analogue over Q of a wellknown theorem of Vaaler proved over number fields. We use our result to prove an effective version of Witt decomposition for a bil...
متن کاملLevels of Positive Definite Ternary Quadratic Forms
The level N and squarefree character q of a positive definite ternary quadratic form are defined so that its associated modular form has level N and character Xg ■ We define ä collection of correspondences between classes of quadratic forms having the same level and different discriminants. This makes practical a method for finding representatives of all classes of ternary forms having a given ...

متن کاملQuadratic Forms Representing All Odd Positive Integers
We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list of 23 candidates, and proving that 19 of those represent all positive odds. (Jagy later dealt with a 20th candidate.) Assuming that the remaining three forms represent all positive odds, we prove ...
