Quadratic forms on a free finite-dimensional module are investigated. It is shown that the inertial law can be suitably generalized provided the vector space is replaced by a free finite-dimensional module over a certain linear algebra over ( real plural algebra) introduced in [1].
Let be a global field of characteristic not 2, and let be an irreducible polynomial. We show that a non-degenerate quadratic space has an isometry with minimal polynomial if and only if such an isometry exists over all the completions of . This gives a partial answer to a question of Milnor.
