- Abstract:
- In his book on compositions of quadratic forms, Shapiro asks whether a quadratic form decomposes as a tensor product of quadratic forms when its adjoint involution decomposes as a tensor product of involutions on central simple algebras. We give a positive answer for quadratic forms defined over local or global fields (or, more generally, over any linked field) and produce counterexamples over fields of rational fractions in two variables over any formally real field. © 2005 Elsevier Inc.
