Specialization of Quadratic and Symmetric Bilinear Forms by Manfred Knebusch
English | EPUB | 2010 | 202 Pages | ISBN : 1848822413 | 5.69 MB
The specialization theory of quadratic and symmetric bilinear forms over fields and the subsequent generic splitting theory of quadratic forms were invented by the author in the mid-1970's. They came to fruition in the ensuing decades and have become an integral part of the geometric methods in quadratic form theory.
