Finding fields to realize the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Wed 25th February 2009
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: I will present the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms, and how it corresponds, in some nice cases, to the classical theory of quadratic forms over fields. I will then present some recent results that increase this set of "nice cases".

(This talk is part of the K-Theory, Quadratic Forms and Number Theory series.)
