Some Algebraic Aspects of Quadratic Forms over Fields of Characteristic Two
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is intended to give a survey in the algebraic theory of quadratic forms over fields of characteristic two. The relationship between differential forms and quadratics and bilinear forms over such fields discovered by Kato is used to reduced some problems on quadratics forms to concrete questions about differential forms, which in general are easier to handle. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11 E04, 11 E81, 12 E05, 12 F20

Witt 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...

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $K[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ K$,$K((x))$, the quotient field of $ K[[x]]$, and $ K(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $K$. We shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin K((x))$ over $K$.Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero. The power series $finL[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...
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 کاملSolving the "Isomorphism of Polynomials with Two Secrets" Problem for all Pairs of Quadratic Forms
We study the Isomorphism of Polynomial (IP2S) problem with m = 2 homogeneous quadratic polynomials of n variables over a finite field of odd characteristic: given two quadratic polynomials (a,b) on n variables, we find two bijective linear maps (s, t) such that b = t◦a◦s. We give an algorithm computing s and t in time complexity Õ(n) for all instances. The IP2S problem was introduced in cryptog...
