Abstract: | The isometry problem is studied for unimodular quadratic forms over the Hasse domains of global function fields. Over the polynomial ring k[x] the problem reduces to classification of forms over k; but examples are provided showing that in general no such reduction occurs, even when the underlying ring is Euclidean. Connections with the structure of the ideal class group are given, and a complete invariant for the isometry class is found in the ternary isotropic case. |
