The dyadic cyclic generators q_θ^{(2)}(2^k) #
For k ≥ 1 and an integer θ, this file constructs the cyclic group ℤ/2^k with
q(x) = θx² / 2^{k+1}, b(x, y) = θxy / 2^k.
For odd θ, this is Nikulin's dyadic cyclic generator q_θ^{(2)}(2^k). In the half-norm
convention it is the discriminant form of the 2-adic lattice of rank one with Gram matrix
(θ·2^k), and it is one of the generators of Nikulin's classification of nondegenerate finite
quadratic modules, alongside the odd-primary cyclic forms and the two forms u^{(2)}(2^k),
v^{(2)}(2^k) on (ℤ/2^k)². For even θ, it is the degenerate extension of the same formula.
This file constructs it from the cyclic presentation TauCeti.FiniteQuadraticModule.cyclic
and proves it nondegenerate exactly for odd θ (Nikulin, Proposition 1.8.1).

The generator #
The cyclic group ℤ/2^k, for k ≥ 1, with quadratic form q(x) = θx² / 2^{k+1} and
pairing b(x, y) = θxy / 2^k. For odd θ, this is Nikulin's dyadic cyclic generator
q_θ^{(2)}(2^k), the discriminant form of the rank-one 2-adic lattice with Gram matrix
(θ·2^k). For even θ, it is the degenerate extension of the same formula. It is nondegenerate
exactly when θ is odd.
Instances For
q_θ^{(2)}(2^k) has 2^k elements. Its carrier is ℤ/2^k by definition.
For odd θ, the quadratic form of q_θ^{(2)}(2) does not take values in ½ℤ/ℤ: on the
generator it is θ/4, so q(1) + q(1) = θ/2 ≠ 0.
q_θ^{(2)}(2^k) is nondegenerate exactly when θ is odd. For even θ the nonzero
element 2^{k-1} lies in the radical.
Congruent coefficients modulo 2^k give cyclic bilinear forms related by the
identity on their cyclic group. The quadratic coefficient need only agree modulo
2^k, since this statement concerns the polar pairing.
Instances For
All odd cyclic coefficients give isometric bilinear forms of order two, as in Nikulin's relation 1.8.2(j).
Instances For
Multiplication by five preserves the cyclic bilinear form of order four. This is Nikulin's relation 1.8.2(j) for odd coefficients, and also holds for even ones.
Instances For
The odd-coefficient bilinear isometry at exponent one fixes every element. Heterogeneous equality accommodates the two bundled carrier types.
The coefficient-five bilinear isometry at exponent two fixes every element. Heterogeneous equality accommodates the two bundled carrier types.
