Positive definite forms $f$ which are sums of squares are constructed to have the additional property that the members of any collection of forms whose squares sum to $f$ must share a nontrivial complex root.

In this paper, we will interest in finding the number of zeros of the quadratic forms over finite fields. We will apply the tool for finding the number of rational points of supersingular curves in [6]. We will give some more tools for…

We consider the problem of birationally modifying a morphism of complete varieties to make it a morphism from a nonsingular variety to a normal variety. Our main result is to give a counterexample to this problem. This example also is a…

We investigate the non-diagonal normal forms of a quadratic form on R^n, in particular for n=3. For this case it is shown that the set of normal forms is the closure of a 5-dimensional submanifold in the 6-dimensional Grassmannian of…

In this paper, we will prove that if $d$ is sufficiently large square-free positive rational integer, then there is no integral septenary universal quadratic lattice over $\mathcal{O}_F$ where $F=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{d})$.

In this paper, we study the set of positive integers that characterize the universality of $m$-gonal form.

Let k be a field of arbitrary characteristic and let Q be a quiver of finite representation type. In this paper we prove that if M is an indecomposable kQ-module then the universal deformation ring of M over kQ is isomorphic to k.

Generalized differential forms are used in discussions of metric geometries and Einstein's vacuum field equations. Cartan's structure equations are generalized and applied. In particular flat generalized connections are associated with any…

The paper presents a classification of quadratic extension algebras, also known as algebras of degree 2, as well as several characterizations of quaternion algebras over a field (of characteristic not 2). The presentation is not restricted…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a cubic polynomial to be positive for all positive reals. We identify the set where the cubic polynomial is nonnegative but not all positive for all positive reals, and explicitly give the…

We investigate the existence of "generic derivations" in exponential fields. We show that exponential fields without additional compatibility conditions between derivation and exponentiation cannot support a generic derivation.

Given a binary quadratic form $F \in \mathbb{Z}[X, Y]$, we define its value set $F(\mathbb{Z}^2)$ to be $\{F(x, y) : (x, y) \in \mathbb{Z}^2\}$. If $F$ and $G$ are two binary quadratic forms with integer coefficients, we give necessary and…

This paper explores quadratic forms over finite fields with associated Artin-Schreier curves. Specifically, we investigate quadratic forms of $\mathbb F_{q^n}/\mathbb F_q$ represented by polynomials over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q$ odd,…

In the context of formal deformation quantization, we provide an elementary argument showing that any universal quantization formula necessarily involves graphs with wheels.

We prove that the set of anisotropic quadratic forms over global fields of characteristic different from 2 is a diophantine set. Our proof builds upon and extends the method of Koenigsmann, using tools from class field theory, the…

In this paper we prove a correspondence between a canonical degree six covariant of binary quartic forms $F$ and a cubic covariant of a pair of ternary quadratic forms $(f_A, f_B)$. In the process we obtain a canonical way to diagonalize a…

In this paper, we give an equivalent condition for an abelian variety over a finite field to have multiplication by a quaternion algebra over a number field. We prove the result by combining Tate's classification of the endomorphism…
