Classification of Quadratic Forms over Skew Fields of Characteristic 2
Quadratic forms over division algebras over local or global fields of characteristic 2 are classified by an invariant derived from the Clifford algebra construction. Quadratic forms over skew fields were defined by Tits in [14] to investigate twisted forms of orthogonal groups in characteristic 2, and by C.T.C. Wall [16] in a topological context. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a classif...
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 کاملInvariants of trace forms over finite fields of characteristic 2
Let K be a finite extension of F2. We compute the invariants of the quadratic form Q(x) = trK/F2(x(x 2a + x2 b )) and so determine the number of zeros in K. This is applied to finding the cross-correlation of certain binary sequences. Set F = F2 and K = F2k . Let
