Similarity of quadratic forms over global fields in characteristic 2

Number Theory 2019-07-23 v2

Abstract

Let K K be a global function field of characteristic 2 2 . For each non-trivial place v v of K K , let Kv K_{v} be the completion of K K at v v . We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every Kv K_{v} , then they are similar over K K . This provides an analogue of the version for characteristic not 2 2 previously obtained by T.Ono.
