Abstract:
Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain in which $2$ is invertible. We show in this paper that any isotropic quadratic space over $R[T,{T^{ - 1}}]$ is isometric to ${q_1} \perp T{q_2}$ where ${q_1},{q_2}$ are quadratic spaces over $R$. We give an example to show that this result does not hold for anisotropic spaces.References
