We parametrize quartic commutative algebras over any base ring or scheme (equivalently finite, flat degree four $S$-schemes), with their cubic resolvents, by pairs of ternary quadratic forms over the base. This generalizes Bhargava's…
We show that binary forms of degree n less than seven parameterize rings, generalizing a result of Levi on binary cubic forms parameterizing cubic rings, which can be related to results of Bhargava. The question of whether or not a binary…
Bhargava parametrized quintic rings over $\mathbb{Z}$ by quadruples of $5\times 5$ alternating matrices. We extend the construction to work similarly over any Dedekind domain $R$. No assumptions are needed on the characteristic of $R$. The…
Classes of pairs of ternary quadratic forms parametrize quartic rings by a result of Bhargava. We give an algorithm for finding a pair of ternary quadratic forms that parametrize a given order of a quartic field. We examine a new technique,…
The association of algebraic objects to forms has had many important applications in number theory. Gauss, over two centuries ago, studied quadratic rings and ideals associated to binary quadratic forms, and found that ideal classes of…
Fix a quadratic order over the ring of integers. An embedding of the quadratic order into a quaternionic order naturally gives an integral binary hermitian form over the quadratic order. We show that, in certain cases, this correspondence…
We use composition of binary quadratic forms to systematically create pairs of Seifert surfaces that are non-isotopic in the four-ball. Our main topological result employs Gauss composition to classify the pairs of binary quadratic forms…
We consider a convenient category of "quadratic" multirings, that allows simple functorial relations with categories associated with abstract quadratic forms theories and shares many good aspects of the theories of Special Groups and of…
We give an algebraic identity for cubic polynomials which generalizes Brahmagupta's identity and facilitates arithmetic in cubic fields. We also pose a question about a relationship between the elements of a cubic field of fixed trace and…
In this paper we determine the group of rational automorphisms of binary cubic and quartic forms with integer coefficients and non-zero discriminant in terms of certain quadratic covariants of cubic and quartic forms. This allows one to…
A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. It…
We give a parametrization of the ideal classes of rings associated to integral binary forms by classes of tensors in $\mathbb Z^2\tensor \mathbb Z^n\tensor \mathbb Z^n$. This generalizes Bhargava's work on Higher Composition Laws, which…
We study a monoid associated to complex semisimple Lie algebras, called the quantic monoid. Its monoid ring is shown to be isomorphic to a degenerate quantized enveloping algebra. Moreover, we provide normal forms and a straightening…
In this paper, we consider maximal and irreducible quartic orders which arise from integral binary quartic forms, via the construction of Birch and Merriman, and whose field of fractions is a quartic $D_4$-field. By a theorem of M. Wood,…
Some upper bounds for the number of monogenizations of quartic orders are established by considering certain classical Diophantine equations, namely index form equations in quartic number fields, and cubic and quartic Thue equations.
We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…
In this paper, the composition of Bhargava's cubes is generalized to the ring of integers of a number field of narrow class number one, excluding the case of totally imaginary number fields.
We investigate the geometrical and combinatorial structures of multipartite quantum systems based on conifold and toric variety. In particular, we study the relations between resolution of conifold, toric variety, a separable state, and a…
A bivariate quartic form is a homogeneous bivariate polynomial of degree four. A criterion of positivity for such a form is known. In the present paper this criterion is reformulated in terms of pseudotensorial invariants of the form.
As a continuation of the authors and Wakatsuki's previous paper [5], we study relations among Dirichlet series whose coefficients are class numbers of binary cubic forms. We show that for any integral models of the space of binary cubic…
