Only as late as 1937 were the foundations of a theory over an arbitrary field laid. This was in a famous paper by Ernst Witt. Still too early, apparently, because it took another 25 years for the ideas of Witt to be pursued, notably by Albrecht Pfister, and expanded into a full branch of algebra. Around 1960 the development of algebraic topology and algebraic K-theory led to the study of quadratic forms over commutative rings and hermitian forms over rings with involutions. Not surprisingly, in this more general setting, algebraic K-theory plays the role that linear algebra plays in the case of fields. This book exposes the theory of quadratic and hermitian forms over rings in a very general setting. It avoids, as far as possible, any restriction on the characteristic and takes full advantage of the functorial aspects of the theory. The advantage of doing so is not only aesthetical: on the one hand, some classical proofs gain in simplicity and transparency, the most notable examples being the results on low-dimensio | | 出版日期 | Book 1991 | | 关键词 | Algebra; Clifford Algebren; Clifford algebras; Dimension; Grad; Hermitesche Formen; K-theory; Quadratische | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-75401-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-75403-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-75401-2Series ISSN 0072-7830 Series E-ISSN 2196-9701 | | issn_series | 0072-7830 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1991 |
