Abstract:
In this thesis, we investigate the involutions of a Clifford algebra induced by involutions of orthogonal group in characteristic two. Several properties of these involutions, such as the relations between their invariants and their decompositions are studied. Also it is shown that a tensor product of quaternion algebras with involution can be expressed as the Clifford algebra of a suitable quadratic form with an involution induced by an involution of orthogonal group. Finally, in connection with the Pfister factor conjecture formulated by D. B. Shapiro, split tensor products of quaternion algebras with involution over a field of characteristic two are investigated
