Introduction to the Arithmetic Theory of Quadratic Forms

چکیده
1.1. Linear algebra is assumed as a prerequisite to these notes. However, this section serves to review the language of abstract linear algebra (particularly tensor products) for use in the remainder of these notes. We assume the reader familiar with these notions, and therefore do not provide a complete and detailed treatment. In particular, we assume the reader knows what a homomorphism of algebraic objects is.

An introduction to arithmetic groups
Arithmetic groups are groups of matrices with integral coefficients. They first appeared in the work of Gauss, Minkowski and others on the arithmetic theory of quadratic forms. Their reduction theory consists in showing that, after a linear change of variables with integral coefficients, any quadratic form can be forced to satisfy an appropriate set of inequalities. Around 1940, Siegel develope...
متن کاملApplications 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 کاملArithmetic Teichmuller Theory
By Grothedieck's Anabelian conjectures, Galois representations landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group which are associated to hyperbolic smooth curves defined over number fields encode all arithmetic information of these curves. The goal of this paper is to develope and arithmetic teichmuller theory, by which we mean, introducing arithmetic objects summarizing th...
متن کاملWitt rings of quadratically presentable fields
This paper introduces an approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms based on {tmem{presentable}} partially ordered sets, that is partially ordered sets subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability. It turns out that the classical notion of the Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms over a field makes sense in the context of {tmem{quadratically p...
متن کامل2 00 6 Local - Global Principles for Representations of Quadratic Forms
We prove the local-global principle holds for the problem of representations of quadratic forms by quadratic forms, in codimension ≥ 7. The proof uses the ergodic theory of p-adic groups, together with a fairly general observation on the structure of orbits of an arithmetic group acting on integral points of a variety.
