We provide, explicitly, equivalences and dual equivalences between categories of abstract quadratic forms theories and subcategories of multifields and multirings, that will bring new perspectives and methods to the abstract theories of…

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 build on previous work on multirings (\cite{roberto2021quadratic}) that provides generalizations of the available abstract quadratic forms theories (special groups and real semigroups) to the context of multirings…

We introduce a new class of generalised quadratic forms over totally real number fields, which is rich enough to capture the arithmetic of arbitrary systems of quadrics over the rational numbers. We explore this connection through a version…

The goal of this work is twofold: (i) to provide a detailed analysis of some categories of inductive graded ring - a concept introduced in [DM98] in order to provide a solution of Marshall's signature conjecture in the algebraic theory of…

In this paper we will give a scheme-theoretic discussion on the unramified extensions of an arithmetic function field in several variables. The notion of unramified discussed here is parallel to that in algebraic number theory and for the…

In this survey paper, we discuss the classical Cassels' theorem on existence of small-height zeros of quadratic forms over Q and its many extensions, to different fields and rings, as well as to more general situations, such as existence of…

For a field extension $L/K$ we consider maps that are quadratic over $L$ but whose polarisation is only bilinear over $K$. Our main result is that all such are automatically quadratic forms over $L$ in the usual sense if and only if $L/K$…

Nondegenerate forms N of degree d on a unital nonassociative algebra A over a ring R which permit composition, i.e., satisfy N(1)=1 and N(xy)=N(x)N(y) for all x,y in A, are studied. These forms were first classified by Schafer over fields…

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,…

For quadratic spaces which represent 1 there is a characterization of hermitian compositions in the language of algebras-with-involutions using the even Clifford algebra. We extend this notion to define a generalized composition based on…

These notes are an extension of the rough notes provided for my four lecture graduate level course on "Quadratic Forms and Automorphic Forms" at the March 2009 Arizona Winter School on Quadratic Forms. They are meant to give a survey of…

The paper expands the theory of quadratic forms on modules over a semiring R, introduced in [12]-[14], especially in the setup of tropical and supertropical algebra. Isometric linear maps induce subordination on quadratic forms, and provide…

We give an overview of universal quadratic forms and lattices, focusing on the recent developments over the rings of integers in totally real number fields. In particular, we discuss indecomposable algebraic integers as one of the main…

H. J. S. Smith proved Fermat's two-square theorem using the notion of palindromic continuants. In this paper we extend Smith's approach to proper binary quadratic form representations in some commutative Euclidean rings, including rings of…

Given a quadratic form and $M$ linear forms in $N+1$ variables with coefficients in a number field $K$, suppose that there exists a point in $K^{N+1}$ at which the quadratic form vanishes and all the linear forms do not. Then we show that…

We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…

The main goal of the paper is the discussion of a deeper interaction between matrix theory over polynomial rings over a field and typical methods of commutative algebra and related algebraic geometry. This is intended in the sense of…

This manuscript reviews theoretical results and applications related to quadratic forms in Gaussian random variables. It summarizes definitions, canonical representations, exact and approximate distributional results, numerical inversion…

In what follows we generalize the notion of a complemented ring to rings that are not necessarily reduced. We then determine how our concepts fit in with other well-known classes of rings.
