Cliques in Representation Graphs of Quadratic Forms

Number Theory 2023-06-13 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We study cliques in graphs arising from quadratic forms where the vertices are the elements of the module of the quadratic form and two vertices are adjacent if their difference represents some fixed scalar. We determine structural properties and the clique number for quadratic forms over finite rings. We further extend previous results about graphs arising from such forms and forms over fields of characteristic 0 in a unified framework.
