Abstract

We study generalized Jacobi sums, cyclotomic numbers, and dd-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 f2f\ge2, i.e. ff-ic forms, on complete intersections of ff-ics. This places Pfister's theory of multiplicative quadratic forms over fields within the broader setting of multiplicative ff-ic forms on affine algebraic varieties, where new phenomena arise. Moreover, a dense open subset WVW \subset V carries the structure of an algebraic torus, and the multiplicative form is compatible with the induced group law on WW.
