We develop a criterion for a point of global function field to be a unique wild point of some self-equivalence of this field. We show that this happens if and only if the class of the point in the Picard group of the field is 2-divisible. Moreover, given a finite set of points, whose classes are 2-divisible in the Picard group, we show that there is always a self-equivalence of the field for which this is precisely the set of wild points. Unfortunately, for more than one point this condition is no longer a necessary one.
We describe the structure of the Witt group W S K of any Hasse domain S K of a global field K by explicitly determining its cyclic direct summands and generators of each such summand. Using this description we find a sufficient condition for the existence of Witt ring isomorphism W S K ∼ = W S L . We give also the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Witt ring isomorphism WK → WL of global fields K and L mapping the Witt ring W S K onto the Witt ring W S L .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
