Metabolic Involutions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the conditions under which an involution becomes metabolic over a quadratic field extension. We characterise those involutions that become metabolic over a given separable quadratic extension. We further give an example of an anisotropic orthogonal involution that becomes isotropic over a separable quadratic extension.

In this paper we characterise involutions that become metabolic over a quadratic field extension attained by adjoining a square root.
متن کاملOrthogonal Pfister Involutions in Characteristic Two
We show that over a field of characteristic 2 a central simple algebra with orthogonal involution that decomposes into a product of quaternion algebras with involution is either anisotropic or metabolic. We use this to define an invariant of such orthogonal involutions in characteristic 2 that completely determines the isotropy behaviour of the involution. We also give an example of a non-total...
متن کاملInvolutions of a Clifford algebra induced by involutions of orthogonal group in characteristic 2
Among the involutions of a Clifford algebra, those induced by the involutions of the orthogonal group are the most natural ones. In this work, several basic properties of these involutions, such as the relations between their invariants, their occurrences and their decompositions are investi-
متن کاملQuaternion Involutions
An involution is usually defined as a mapping that is its own inverse. In this paper, we study quaternion involutions that have the additional properties of distribution over addition and multiplication. We review formal axioms for such involutions, and we show that the quaternions have an infinite number of involutions. We show that the conjugate of a quaternion may be expressed using three mu...
متن کاملInvolutions on Generating Functions
We study a family of involutions on the space of sequences. Many arithmetically or combinatorially interesting sequences appear as eigensequences of the involutions. We develop new tools for studying sequences using these involutions.
