Quadratic forms classify products on quotient ring spectra

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.

On Generic Quadratic Forms

Based on Totaro’s computation of the Chow ring of classifying spaces for orthogonal groups, we compute the Chow rings of all orthogonal Grassmannians associated with a generic quadratic form of any dimension. This closes the gap between the known particular cases of the quadric and the highest orthogonal Grassmannian. We also relate two different notions of generic quadratic forms.
