Aug 13, 2014 at 13:23 comment added Jim Humphreys @IMeasy: You should also make your notation $\mathbb{Z}_2$ clear, since it can mean two things. Is this what the tag 'finite-fields' is for?
Aug 13, 2014 at 13:22 comment added IMeasy no, I am sorry, I should have explained. By even and odd I mean the Arf invariant of a quadratic form on a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-vector space. I will correct the question.
