NOTE ON QUADRATIC FORMS IN CHARACTERISTIC 2,

Abstract

It is proved that the pseudo-discriminant of a nondefective quadratic form over the field K with characteristic 2 is determined up to an element of the form L+L-squared. It is proved that left and right multiplications are proper similarities in octave algebras of characteristic 2.
