Arithmetic of quadratic forms Semester SoSe 2025
Lecturer Moritz Kerz, Carolyn Echter, Yuenian Zhou
Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Seminar
German title Arithmetik von quadratischen Formen
Contents In this seminar, we study the arithmetic theory of quadratic forms. Quadratic forms are key to answering classical
questions in number theory, for example which natural numbers can be written as sums of two or more squares. Our main goal is the
proof of the Hasse-Minkowski theorem, which gives a criterion for quadratic equations of a certain type to have a solution over
the rational numbers.
