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 کاملOn Multivariate Hermitian Quadratic Forms
Quantifier elimination over real closed fields (real QE) is an important area of research for various fields of mathematics and computer science. Though the cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD) algorithm introduced by G. E. Collins [4] and improved by many successive works has been considered as the most efficient method for a general real QE problem up to the present date, we may have a m...
متن کاملQuadratic and Hermitian Forms in Additive and Abelian Categories
During the last few years several papers concerned with the foundations of the theory of quadratic forms over arbitrary rings with involution have appeared. It is not necessary to give detailed references, in particular one thinks of the well known work of Bak [l], Bass [3], Karoubi, Knebusch [ll, 121, Ranicki, Vaserstein, and C. T. C. Wall. During the same period a number of problems quite sim...
متن کاملIntroduction to quadratic forms
I begin with a basic discussion of bilinear forms and quadratic forms. The distinction between the two is particularly important, since I do not generally assume 2 to be invertible. Then I go on to prove versions of theorems about quadratic forms that are independent of the particular coefficient field, except for distinctions based on characteristic. Eventually, I shall be interested only in q...
متن کاملSignatures of Hermitian Forms
Signatures of quadratic forms over formally real fields have been generalized in [BP2] to hermitian forms over central simple algebras with involution over such fields. This was achieved by means of an application of Morita theory and a reduction to the quadratic form case. A priori, signatures of hermitian forms can only be defined up to sign, i.e., a canonical definition of signature is not p...
