GENERALISED QUADRATIC FORMS OVER TOTALLY REAL NUMBER FIELDS

Journal Article Journal of the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu · November 1, 2024 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 of the Hardy-Li ... Full text Cite
