For each non-trivial place $ v $ of $ K $, let $ K_{v} $ be the completion of $ K $ at $ v $. We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every $ K_{v} $, then they are similar over $ K $. This provides an analogue of the case for characteristic not $ 2 $ previously obtained by T.Ono.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-04-04T05:27:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11E12", "11E81", "11E88" ], "keywords": [ "global fields", "characteristic", "similarity", "global function field", "non-degenerate quadratic forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
