Bilinear forms on vector spaces of countable dimensions in the case characteristic of k equals two by Robert Dean Engle A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Mathematics Montana State University © Copyright by Robert Dean Engle (1965) Abstract: For k-vector spaces of a denumerable dimension supplied with a symmetric bilinear form, Kaplansky proved that in the case where characteristic k is 2 and O(ge)=1 there are, up to orthagonal isomorphism, precisely four non-isomorphic types. Kaplansky has raised the question of how this result is altered when characteristic k is2 and O(gk)>1 . The question is answered in this thesis for the case O(gn)=2. This thesis is divided into two parts, the first part is an investigation of properties of fields of characteristic 2. In the second part the classification of non-isomorphic spaces is carried out. The major tool used in the classification is a certain theorem of automorphisms (2.4) for fields of characteristic 2.
