The Hasse principle for similarity of Hermitian forms. (English) Zbl 1147.11315
Summary: The Hasse principle for similarity is established for restricted classes of skew-hermitian forms over quaternion division algebras with canonical involution and for hermitian forms over division algebras with involution of the second kind. A counterexample is produced to show that the principle cannot hold for skew-hermitian forms over quaternion division algebras in general. This settles the two final cases of Hasse principles for similarity of forms that were missing in the literature.
