An anisotropic symmetric bilinear form context: a symmetric bilinear form $\langle \cdot, \cdot \rangle$ over $k$ that is anisotropic (no nonzero isotropic vectors), together with the ambient DVR data, Hensel-style solvability of quadratic equations, and closure properties of the integral self-pairings. Used to construct the maximal lattice on which the form is integral.
- C : DVRContext
Instances For
The image of $2 = 1 + 1$ under the embedding $\mathfrak{o} \hookrightarrow k$ is nonzero, since $2$ is a unit.
The form vanishes on the zero vector in the left slot.
The form vanishes on the zero vector in the right slot.
The form value $\langle 0, 0 \rangle = 0$ is integral.
Integral $\mathfrak{o}$-linear combinations of vectors with integral self-pairings have integral self-pairing.
The maximal lattice of an anisotropic form: the $\mathfrak{o}$-lattice $\{v : \langle v, v \rangle \in \mathfrak{o}\}$ of vectors with integral self-pairing.
Instances For
The form is integral on the maximal lattice: $\langle v, w \rangle \in \mathfrak{o}$ for all $v, w$ with integral self-pairings, by the polarisation identity and the fact that $2$ is a unit.
