Heights and Quadratic Forms: Cassels’ Theorem and its Generalizations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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 totally ...

Most totally real fields do not have universal forms or the Northcott property. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Significance The classical fact that every positive integer is a sum of four squares led to the much more general study of universal quadratic forms.

On Kitaoka's conjecture and lifting problem for universal quadratic forms [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, 2021
For a totally positive definite quadratic form over the ring of integers of a totally real number field K$K$ , we show that there are only finitely many totally real field extensions of K$K$ of a fixed degree over which the form is universal (namely ...

Wide moments of L-functions I : Twists by class group characters of imaginary quadratic fields [PDF]

open access: yesAlgebra & Number Theory, 2021
We calculate certain "wide moments" of central values of Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions $L(\pi\otimes \Omega, 1/2)$ where $\pi$ is a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\Omega$ is a Hecke character (of conductor ...

Generalized Hamming Weights of Linear Codes From Quadratic Forms Over Finite Fields of Even Characteristic

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2023
The generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is a natural generalization of the minimum Hamming distance. They convey the structural information of a linear code and determine its performance in various applications, and have become one of important research topics in coding theory. Recently, Li (IEEE Trans. Inf.

The Artin-Springer Theorem for quadratic forms over semi-local rings with finite residue fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Let $R$ be a commutative and unital semi-local ring in which 2 is invertible. In this note, we show that anisotropic quadratic spaces over $R$ remain anisotropic after base change to any odd-degree finite \'{e}tale extension of $R$.

Forms over fields and Witt's lemma [PDF]

open access: yesMathematica Scandinavica, 2018
We give an overview of the general framework of forms of Bak, Tits and Wall, when restricting to vector spaces over fields, and describe its relationship to the classical notions of Hermitian, alternating and quadratic forms.

Classes of weak Dembowski–Ostrom polynomials for multivariate quadratic cryptosystems

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Cryptology, 2015
T. Harayama and D. K. Friesen [J. Math. Cryptol. 1 (2007), 79–104] proposed the linearized binomial attack for multivariate quadratic cryptosystems and introduced weak Dembowski–Ostrom (DO) polynomials in this framework over the finite field 𝔽2.

Generalised quadratic forms and the u-invariant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in characteristic 2 and

Quadratic forms and linear algebraic groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Topics discussed at the workshop Quadratic Forms and Linear Algebraic Groups included besides the algebraic theory of quadratic and Hermitian forms and their Witt groups several aspects of the theory of linear algebraic groups and homogeneous varieties ...
