Abstract
We study a generalization of the classical correspondence between homogeneous quadratic polynomials, quadratic forms, and symmetric/alternating bilinear forms to forms in variables. The main tool is combinatorial polarization, and the approach is applicable even when is not invertible in the underlying field.
