Decomposition of Algebras with Involution in Characteristic 2

چکیده
In this paper we present a decomposition theorem for hermitian forms over fields of characteristic 2 refining the usual Witt decomposition in this case. We apply this decomposition to algebras with involution over fields of characteristic 2 to give a complete description of the effect of passing to a generic splitting field of the algebra on the isotropy of the involution.

Ultra and Involution Ideals in $BCK$-algebras
In this paper, we define the notions of ultra and involution ideals in $BCK$-algebras. Then we get the relation among them and other ideals as (positive) implicative, associative, commutative and prime ideals. Specially, we show that in a bounded implicative $BCK$-algebra, any involution ideal is a positive implicative ideal and in a bounded positive implicative lower $BCK$-semilattice, the not...
متن کاملOn p-semilinear transformations
In this paper, we introduce $p$-semilinear transformations for linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$, discuss initially the elementary properties of $p$-semilinear transformations, make use of it to give some characterizations of linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$. Moreover, we find a one-to-one correspondence between $p$-semiline...
متن کاملPolar and Ol'shanski Decompositions 1. Symmetric Lie Algebras
The Cartan decomposition in a semisimple Lie group is a generalization of the polar decomposition of matrices. In this paper we consider an even more general setting in which one obtains an analogous decomposition. In the semisimple case, this decomposition was worked out in a seminal paper of G. I. Ol'shanski 13]. In this paper we give general necessary and suucient conditions for this decompo...
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 کاملOn Totally Decomposable Algebras with Involution in Characteristic Two
A necessary and sufficient condition for a central simple algebra with involution over a field of characteristic two to be decomposable as a tensor product of quaternion algebras with involution, in terms of its Frobenius subalgebras, is given. It is also proved that a bilinear Pfister form, recently introduced by A. Dolphin, can classify totally decomposable central simple algebras of orthogon...
