Quadratic forms question
Here is one way to do it. Assume that (4) holds for all $a,b \in F^\times$, and now let $a \in F^\times$ be arbitrary. If $\langle 1,a \rangle$ is isotropic, then it is of course universal, so we may …

Orthogonal transformations fixing a subspace (setwise)
The full orthogonal group $O(Q)$ is generated by reflections, i.e. involutory isometries fixing a hyperplane pointwise:
$$\pi_v : V \to V : x \mapsto x - \frac{Q(v,x)}{Q(v)} v,$$
where $v$ is an aniso …

quadratic forms over fields of characteristic 2
The Algebraic and Geometric Theory of Quadratic Forms by Elman, Karpenko and Merkurjev is a standard recent reference for the theory of quadratic forms, paying special attention to the differences bet …

Generators of the orthogonal group of a quadratic form in odd dimension in characteristic 2
For a reference, you could use Theorem I.5.1 from C. Chevalley, The Algebraic Theory of Spinors, Columbia University Press, New York, 1954. (This also appears in volume 2 of his collected works.) The …
