چکیده
We show that a non-hyperbolic orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra over a field of characteristic 6= 2 remains non-hyperbolic over some splitting field of the algebra.

Hyperbolicity of Unitary Involutions
We prove the so-called Unitary Hyperbolicity Theorem, a result on hyperbolicity of unitary involutions. The analogous previously known results for the orthogonal and symplectic involutions are formal consequences of the unitary one. While the original proofs in the orthogonal and symplectic cases were based on the incompressibility of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties, the proof in the unitar...
متن کاملHyperbolicity Criteria for Certain Involutions
Using the ideas and techniques developed by Bayer-Fluckiger, Shapiro and Tignol about hyperbolic involutions of central simple algebras, criteria for the hyperbolicity of involutions of the form σ⊗ τ and σ⊗ ρ, where σ is an involution of a central simple algebra A, τ is the nontrivial automorphism of a quadratic extension of the center of A and ρ is an involution of a quaternion algebra are obt...
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 کاملIsotropy of Orthogonal Involutions
An orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra becoming isotropic over any splitting field of the algebra, becomes isotropic over a finite odd degree extension of the base field (provided that the characteristic of the base field is not 2). Our aim is a proof of the following result, generalizing the hyperbolicity statement of [5]: Theorem 1. Let F be a field of characteristic not 2, A a ...
متن کاملAsymptotics of the Number of Involutions in Finite Classical Groups
Answering a question of Geoff Robinson, we compute the large n limiting proportion of i(n, q)/qbn 2/2c, where i(n, q) denotes the number of involutions in GL(n, q). We give similar results for the finite unitary, symplectic, and orthogonal groups, in both odd and even characteristic. At the heart of this work are certain new “sum=product” identities. Our self-contained treatment of the enumerat...
