On Isotropy of Quadratic Pair
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let F be an arbitrary field (of arbitrary characteristic). Let A be a central simple F -algebra endowed with a quadratic pair σ (if charF 6= 2 then σ is simply an orthogonal involution on A). We show that the Witt index of σ over the function field of the Severi-Brauer variety of A is divisible by the Schur index of the algebra A.

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.
متن کاملIsotropy of Products of Quadratic Forms over Field Extensions
The isotropy of products of Pfister forms is studied. In particular, an improved lower bound on the value of their first Witt index is obtained. This result and certain of its corollaries are applied to the study of the weak isotropy index (or equivalently, the sublevel) of arbitrary quadratic forms. The relationship between this invariant and the level of the form is investigated. The problem ...
متن کاملIsotropy and Metastable States the Landscape of the Xy Hamiltonian Revisited
The number of local optima is an important characteristic of a landscape. It appears to depend on the pair-correlation of the landscape as well as on its deviations from statistical isotropy. We use Tanaka and Edward's XY Hamiltonian as an example for an investigation of the relationships between ruggedness, metastable states, and isotropy.
متن کاملApplication of Case I and Case II of Hill’s 1979 Yield Criterion to Predict FLD
Forming limit diagrams (FLDs) are calculated based on both the Marciniak and Kuczynski (M-K) model and the analysis proposed by Jones and Gillis (J-G). J-G analysis consisted of plastic deformation approximation by three deformation phases. These phases consisted of homogeneous deformation up to the maximum load (Phase I), deformation localization under constant load (phase II) and local necki...
متن کاملA Hermitian Analogue of the Bröcker–prestel Theorem
The Bröcker–Prestel local-global principle characterizesweak isotropy of quadratic forms over a formally real field in terms of weak isotropy over the henselizations and isotropy over the real closures of that field. A hermitian analogue of this principle is presented for algebras of index at most two. An improved result is also presented for algebras with a decomposable involution, algebras of...
