Fields and quadratic form schemes



Abstract

The paper presents a study of axiomatic theory of quadratic forms. Two operations on quadratic form schemes are investigated: the product of schemes and the group extension of schemes. The main result states that the product of schemes realized by fields is again realized by a field.
