Abstract
We study generalized Jacobi sums, cyclotomic numbers, and -compositions in Thaine's framework, and prove new multiplicative identities extending Davenport and Hasse's lifting theorem from the classical prime-power setting to products of prime powers. As applications, we construct multiplicative forms of degree , i.e. -ic forms, on complete intersections of -ics. This places Pfister's theory of multiplicative quadratic forms over fields within the broader setting of multiplicative -ic forms on affine algebraic varieties, where new phenomena arise. Moreover, a dense open subset carries the structure of an algebraic torus, and the multiplicative form is compatible with the induced group law on .
