Operations on localized quadratic forms #
This file records how the canonical finite, real, and complex localizations of a quadratic form interact with orthogonal products, negation, and scalar multiplication.
The product comparisons are isometries because scalar extension distributes over a product only up to the canonical tensor-product equivalence. The other comparisons are equalities of forms on the same scalar-extended module. Together these results let local-global arguments transport the standard structure of a global quadratic space without unfolding the localization maps.
Finite localization carries an orthogonal product to the orthogonal product of the finite localizations.
Instances For
Real localization carries an orthogonal product to the orthogonal product of the real localizations.
Instances For
Complex localization carries an orthogonal product to the orthogonal product of the complex localizations.
