Kaplansky conjectured that if two positive-definite ternary quadratic forms have perfectly identical representations over [Formula: see text], they are equivalent over [Formula: see text] or constant multiples of regular forms, or is included in either of two families parameterized by [Formula: see text]. Our results aim to clarify the limitations imposed to such a pair by computational and theoretical approaches. First, the result of an exhaustive search for such pairs of integral quadratic forms is presented in order to provide a concrete version of the Kaplansky conjecture. The obtained list contains a small number of non-regular forms that were confirmed to have the identical representations up to 3,000,000 by computation. However, a strong limitation on the existence of such pairs is still observed, regardless of whether the coefficient field is [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Second, we prove that if two pairs of ternary quadratic forms have the identical simultaneous representations over [Formula: see text], their constant multiples are equivalent over [Formula: see text]. This was motivated by the question why the other families were not detected in the search. In the proof, the parametrization of quartic rings and their resolvent rings by Bhargava is used to discuss pairs of ternary quadratic forms.

This chapter proves that Bruhat-Tits buildings exist. It begins with a few definitions and simple observations about quadratic forms, including a 1-fold Pfister form, followed by a discussion of the existence part of the Structure Theorem for complete discretely valued fields due to H. Hasse and F. K. Schmidt. It then considers the generic unramified cases; the generic semi-ramified cases, the generic ramified cases, the wild unramified cases, the wild semi-ramified cases, and the wild ramified cases. These cases range from a unique unramified quadratic space to an unramified separable quadratic extension, a tamely ramified division algebra, a ramified separable quadratic extension, and a unique unramified quaternion division algebra. The chapter also describes ramified quaternion division algebras D₁, D₂, and D₃ over K containing a common subfield E such that E/K is a ramified separable extension.

This chapter assumes that (K, L, q) is a totally wild quadratic space of type E₇. The goal is to prove the proposition that takes into account Λ‎ of type E₇, D as the quaternion division algebra over K whose image in Br(K) is the Clifford invariant of q, and the trace and trace map. The chapter also considers two other propositions: the first states that if the trace map is not equal to zero, then the Moufang residues R₀ and R₁ are not indifferent; the second states that if the trace map is equal to zero, then the Moufang residues R₀ and R₁ are both indifferent.

This chapter proves several more results about weak isomorphisms between Moufang sets arising from quadratic forms and involutory sets. It first fixes a non-trivial anisotropic quadratic space Λ‎ = (K, L, q) before considering two proper anisotropic pseudo-quadratic spaces. It then describes a quaternion division algebra and its standard involution, a second quaternion division algebra and its standard involution, and an involutory set with a quaternion division algebra and its standard involution. It concludes with one more small observation regarding a pointed anisotropic quadratic space and shows that there is a unique multiplication on L that turns L into an integral domain with a multiplicative identity.

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional equationsf (x + y, z + w) + f (x − y, z − w) = 2f (x, z) + 2f (y, w),f (x + y, z − w) + f (x − y, z + w) = 2f (x, z) + 2f (y, w)andf (x + y, z − w) + f (x − y, z + w) = 2f (x, z) − 2f (y, w)in 2-Banach spaces. The quadratic forms ax2 + bxy + cy2, ax2 + by2 and axy are solutions of the above functional equations, respectively.
