Rationality of intersection of quadrics
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ be a complete intersection of two quadrics. It is classical that, if $X$ contains a line, then it is rational. The proof is very simple and basically it is given by taking …

Relation between positive roots of $E_8$ and $\mathbb{F}_2^8 \setminus \{0\}$
There exists an explicit bijection (due to Cayley, that has built up a very nice table to describe this) between the positive roots of the lattice $E_7$ and $\mathbb{F}_2^6 \setminus \{0\}$ (where $\m …

Action of $(\mathbb{Z}/2g\mathbb{Z})$ on quadratic forms on $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-vector ...
Let $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ the 2 elements field, with additive notation.
I need some clarifications on the relation between quadratic forms on a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-vector space (say, of dimen …

orthogonal group in characteristic 2
Let $O(2,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ be the orthogonal group of order two matrices. On $\mathbb{Z}_2$ there should exist just one odd quadratic form, hence the stabilizer subgroup $O^-$ of an odd quadratic for sho …
