Specialization of quadratic and symmetric, bilinear forms, and a norm theorem
The notion of a real semigroup was introduced in [8] to provide a framework for the investigation of the theory of (diagonal) quadratic forms over commutative, unitary, semi-real rings. In this paper we introduce and study an outstanding class of such structures, that we call spectral real semigroups (SRS). Our main results are: (i) The existence of a natural functorial duality between the category of SRSs and that of hereditarily normal spectral spaces; (ii) Characterization of the SRSs as the...
This article classifies the strongly modular lattices with longest and second longest possible shadow.
Asymptotic formulae are provided for the number of representations of a natural number as the sum of four and of three squares that are pairwise coprime.
