DEFINITE REGULAR QUADRATIC FORMS OVER F q [ T ]

چکیده

Let q be a power of an odd prime, and Fq[T ] be the ring of polynomials over a finite field Fq of q elements. A quadratic form f over Fq [T ] is said to be regular if f globally represents all polynomials that are represented by the genus of f . In this paper, we study definite regular quadratic forms over Fq [T ]. It is shown that for a fixed q, there are only finitely many equivalence classes of regular definite primitive quadratic forms over Fq [T ], regardless of the number of variables. Characterizations of those which are universal are

REPRESENTATIONS OF DEFINITE BINARY QUADRATIC FORMS OVER F q [ t ]

In this paper, we prove that a binary definite quadratic form over Fq[t], where q is odd, is completely determined up to equivalence by the polynomials it represents up to degree 3m− 2, where m is the degree of its discriminant. We also characterize, when q > 13, all the definite binary forms over Fq[t] that have class number one.

FINITENESS THEOREMS FOR POSITIVE DEFINITE n-REGULAR QUADRATIC FORMS

An integral quadratic form f of m variables is said to be n-regular if f globally represents all quadratic forms of n variables that are represented by the genus of f . For any n ≥ 2, it is shown that up to equivalence, there are only finitely many primitive positive definite integral quadratic forms of n+3 variables that are n-regular. We also investigate similar finiteness results for almost ...

Definite Quadratic Forms over Fq[x]

Let R be a principal ideal domain with quotient field F . An R-lattice is a free R-module of finite rank spanning an inner product space over F . The classification problem asks for a reasonably effective set of criteria to determine when two given R-lattices are isometric; that is, when there is an inner-product preserving isomorphism carrying one lattice onto the other. In this paper R is the...

Local Conditions for Global Representations of Quadratic Forms

We show that the theorem of Ellenberg and Venkatesh on representation of integral quadratic forms by integral positive definite quadratic forms is valid under weaker conditions on the represented form. In the article [5] Ellenberg and Venkatesh prove that for any integral positive definite quadratic form f in n variables there is a constant C(f) such that integral quadratic forms g of square fr...

Isospectral Definite Ternary F Q [t]-lattices

We prove that the representations numbers of a ternary definite integral quadratic form defined over Fq[t], where Fq is a finite field of odd characteristic, determine its integral equivalence class when q is large enough with respect to its successive minima. Equivalently, such a quadratic form is determined up to integral isometry by its theta series.
