Abstract:
Let be a quadratic extension of a global field , of characteristic not two, and the integral closure in of a Dedekind ring of -integers in . Then is isomorphic to the spinorial kernel for an indefinite quadratic -lattice of rank 4. The isomorphism is used to study the conjugacy classes of unitary groups of primitive odd binary hermitian matrices under the action of .
