Abstract
Let be a smooth projective curve defined over the finite field ( is odd) and let be its function field. Any finite set of closed points of gives rise to an integral domain in . We show that given an -regular quadratic space of rank , the set of genera in the proper classification of quadratic -spaces isomorphic to in the flat or \'etale topology, is in correspondence with , thus there are such. If is isotropic, then classifies the forms in the genus of . For this is true for all genera, hence the full classification is via the abelian group .
