Inseparable field extensions of degree p and linear independence

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$; let $\alpha \in F$ such that $\alpha \neq \beta^p$ for any $\beta \in F$, and let $K := F(x)$ where $x=\sqrt[p]{\alpha}$. Is it true that the elements $1,(x-...

Number of representations by the norm in a division algebra corresponding to endomorphism rings of elliptic curves

Let $E$ be a supersingular curve over a field of characteristic $p$ with endomorphism ring $\mathcal O_D$ which is a maximal order in a division ring $D$ over $Q$ ramified at $p$ and $\infty$. The ...

Reference request: Number of elliptic and hyperbolic quadratic forms of a given rank over a finite field

My question is over the finite field $\mathbf{F}_q$ of $q$ elements. It is well known that a symmetric matrix of odd rank corresponds to a parabolic quadratic form but even rank symmetric matrices ...

Statements generalizing representability of integers by binary quadratic forms to $n$-variable higher homogeneous forms?

Representing integers through the theory of binary quadratic forms is a well studied topic. We know that given $a,b,c\in\Bbb N$, based on discrimant $b^2-4ac$, we can study the representability of ...

Points at which a polynomial becomes reducible

Let $n \geq 10$ and set $\mathbf{y} = (y_1,\ldots,y_n)$. Let $Q_1(\mathbf{y}),\ldots,Q_5(\mathbf{y})$ be non-zero quadratic forms with integer coefficients such that the cubic form $x_1Q_1(\mathbf{y})+...
