Hasse Principle for Hermitian Spaces Öffentlichkeit

Abstract

This dissertation provides three results: (1) A Hasse principle for rational points of projective homogeneous spaces under unitary or special unitary groups associated to hermitian or skew hermitian spaces over function fields of p-adic curves; (2) A Springer-type theorem for isotropy of hermitian spaces over odd degree field extensions of function fields of p-adic curves; (3) Exact values of Hermitian u-invariants of quaternion or biquaternion algebras over function fields of p-adic curves.
