A Hasse principle for quadratic forms over function fields

Abstract: Abstract. We describe the classical Hasse principle for the existence of nontrivial zeros for quadratic forms over number fields, namely, local zeros over all completions at places of the number field imply nontrivial zeros over the number field itself. We then go on to explain more general questions related to the Hasse principle for nontrivial zeros of quadratic forms over function fields, with reference to a set of discrete valuations of the field. This question has interesting consequences over function fi… Show more

“…We will also use this result to prove a finiteness statement for spinor groups, as well as some unitary groups and groups of type , with good reduction over a class of fields that are not finitely generated. This class includes the function fields of -adic curves that have received a great deal of attention in recent years (we refer the reader to [Bru10, CPS12, Par14, PS98] and references therein for various results involving division algebras, quadratic forms and algebraic groups over those fields), but is in fact much larger. We will formulate our results using a generalization of Serre’s condition (see [Ser97, ch.…”

“…In particular, X d (M j ) = ∅. Since the residue fields are either local or global (see [Par14,8.1]), [k j : k(v)] is odd and per(D ⊗ F F v )|2, by lemma 5.6 and lemma 5.7, conditions in lemma 5.1 are satisfied. By Morita equivalence and lemma 5.1, X d (F v ) = ∅ for all v. Finally by the Hasse principle theorem 4.5, X d (F ) = ∅, so h is isotropic.…”

“…Here we just mention that these conjectures deal with such classical aspects of the theory as the local-global principle (formulated in terms of properties of the global-to-local map in Galois cohomology -cf. [119] and the recent survey [86]) as well as ways of extending the theorem on the finiteness of class numbers for groups over number fields to more general situations. It should also be pointed out that, if proven, the finiteness conjecture for groups with good reduction would have numerous applications: we will discuss the genus problem for absolutely almost simple algebraic groups and weakly commensurable Zariski-dense subgroups of these that play a crucial role in the analysis of length-commensurable locally symmetric spaces, particularly those that are not arithmetically defined (such as, for example, nonarithmetic Riemann surfaces).…”
