Root systems and sums of squares
If a quadratic form in $n$ variables is the sum of the squares of
$n$ integer linear forms, it's the sum of the squares of $n$ rational linear forms.
Thus it's equivalent
as a rational quadratic form …

Diagonalization of quadratic forms over euclidean rings
Quadratic forms over $\mathbb{Z}$ don't diagonalize in general.
Even positive definite rank two forms like $3x^2+2xy+5y^2$ can't be diagonalized.
Inverting $2$ won't help things.

Does a positive binary quadratic form represent a set of primes possessing a natural density
Accoring to H. Lenstra, Chebotarev's theorem holds both for Dirichlet and
for natural density (but he doesn't give a reference in this document).
Applying Chebotarev to the extension $H/\mathbb{Q}$ wh …

Invariant quadratic forms of irreducible representations
There are certainly examples over $k=\mathbb{Q}$ where $\dim T\ge2$.
Let's take the cyclic group $G$ of order $5$ and the representation
space
$$V=\{(a_0,\ldots,a_4)\in\mathbb{Q}^5:a_0+\cdots +a_4=0\} …
