Abstract: A $q$-bic form is a pairing $VimesVomathbfk$ that is linear in the second variable and $q$-power Frobenius linear in the first; here, $V$ is a vector space over a field $mathbfk$ containing the finite field on $q^2$ elements. This article develops a geometric theory of $q$-bic forms in the spirit of that of bilinear forms. I find two filtrations intrinsically attached to a $q$-bic form, with which I define a series of numerical invariants. These are used to classify, study automorphism group schemes of, and describe specialization relations in the parameter space of $q$-bic forms.
