The converse between semigroup property and integer normed pairings for quadratic forms
The converse between semigroup property and integer normed pairings for quadratic forms
Let be an integer quadratic form, meaning that its coefficients are integers. The form has semigroup property if the product of any two values represented by is again represented by . An integer normed pairing with respect to is a bilinear map that maps into and satisfies
for all . Conjecture. If an integer quadratic form has semigroup property, then it admits an integer normed pairing. The claim would establish the converse of the sufficient condition discussed in the surrounding text: every integer quadratic form with semigroup property would arise from such a bilinear multiplicative structure. The source does not provide evidence of resolution, so the conjecture is treated as open.
