History of "no positive definite ternary integral quadratic form is universal"?
I am currently leading a graduate student research group on geometry of numbers (henceforth GoN) and its Diophantine applications, especially to quadratic forms. In an early lecture I gave a bit of a …

Must a ring which admits a Euclidean quadratic form be Euclidean?
The question is in the title, but employs some private terminology, so I had better explain.
Let $R$ be an integral domain with fraction field $K$, and write $R^{\bullet}$ for $R \setminus \{0\}$. Fo …

If two fields are elementarily equivalent, what can we say about their Witt rings?
The question is in the title exactly as I want to ask it, but let me provide some background and motivation.
Many of the properties of fields studied in the algebraic theory of quadratic forms are ma …
