Given polar spaces (V, β) and (V, Q) where V is a vector space over a field K, β a reflexive sesquilinear form and Q a quadratic form, we have associated classical isometry groups. Given a subfield F of K and an F -linear function L : K → F we can define new spaces (V, Lβ) and (V, LQ) which are polar spaces over F . The construction so described gives an embedding of the isometry groups of (V, ...
