A Generalized Composition of Quadratic Forms based on Quadratic Pairs
For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on quadratic pairs and determine the degrees of minimal compositions for any given quadratic pair.
متن کاملBailey Pairs and Indefinite Quadratic Forms
We construct classes of Bailey pairs where the exponent of q in αn is an indefinite quadratic form. As an application we obtain families of q-hypergeometric mock theta multisums.
متن کاملPairs of Quadratic Forms over Finite Fields
Let Fq be a finite field with q elements and let X be a set of matrices over Fq. The main results of this paper are explicit expressions for the number of pairs (A,B) of matrices in X such that A has rank r, B has rank s, and A + B has rank k in the cases that (i) X is the set of alternating matrices over Fq and (ii) X is the set of symmetric matrices over Fq for odd q. Our motivation to study ...
متن کاملQuadratic Pairs in Characteristic 2 and the Witt Cancellation Theorem
We define the orthogonal sum of quadratic pairs and we show that there is no Witt cancellation theorem for this operation in characteristic 2. 1. Introduction. Quadratic pairs on central simple algebras were defined in [5]. They play the same role for quadratic forms as involutions for symmetric or skew-symmetric bilinear forms. In particular, they can be used to define twisted orthogonal group...
متن کاملSimultaneous Integer Values of Pairs of Quadratic Forms
We prove that a pair of integral quadratic forms in 5 or more variables will simultaneously represent “almost all” pairs of integers that satisfy the necessary local conditions, provided that the forms satisfy a suitable nonsingularity condition. In particular such forms simultaneously attain prime values if the obvious local conditions hold. The proof uses the circle method, and in particular ...
