متن کاملQuadratic Forms over Arbitrary Fields
Introduction. Witt [5] proved that two binary or ternary quadratic forms, over an arbitrary field (of characteristic not 2) are equivalent if and only if they have the same determinant and Hasse invariant. His proof is brief and elegant but uses a lot of the theory of simple algebras. The purpose of this note is to make this fundamental theorem more accessible by giving a short proof using only...
متن کاملA Hasse Principle for Quadratic Forms over Function Fields
We describe the classical Hasse principle for the existence of nontrivial zeros for quadratic forms over number fields, namely, local zeros over all completions at places of the number field imply nontrivial zeros over the number field itself. We then go on to explain more general questions related to the Hasse principle for nontrivial zeros of quadratic forms over function fields, with referen...
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 کاملPerfect unary forms over real quadratic fields
Let F = Q( √ d) be a real quadratic field with ring of integers O. In this paper we analyze the number hd of GL1(O)orbits of homothety classes of perfect unary forms over F as a function of d. We compute hd exactly for square-free d ≤ 200000. By relating perfect forms to continued fractions, we give bounds on hd and address some questions raised by Watanabe, Yano, and Hayashi.
