On parameterizations of rational orbits of some forms of prehomogeneous vector spaces (Q2481316)

Let \(k\) be a field, \(\mathcal B\) a quaternion algebra over \(k\), and \(H_n (\mathcal B)\) the set of quaternionic hermitian matrices in \(M_n (\mathcal B)\). Consider the prehomogeneous vector spaces \[ G_n = GL_n (\mathcal B) \times GL_2 , \quad V_n = H_n (\mathcal B) \times k^2 , \quad (n = 2, 3), \] take a nonzero \(G_n\) -relative invariant \(P_n (x)\) on \(V_n\), and set \(V^{ss}_{n} = \{ x \in V_n | P_n (x) \neq 0\}\). The above spaces are \(k\)-forms of \((GL_{2n} \times GL_2 ,\bigwedge^2 k^{2n} \times k^2 )\). In the present paper, the author parameterizes \(G_n (k)\backslash V^{ss}_{n} (k)\) by means of the set \(\mathcal A_{n}\) of isomorphism classes of separable \(k\)-algebras of degree \(n\). More precisely, he gives a surjective map \(\Psi_{n} : G_n (k)\backslash V^{ss}_{n} (k) \longrightarrow \mathcal A_n )\), which is isomorphic if \(n = 2\). He also studies the fibres for \(\Psi_{3}\). Such parameterization, for \(2 \leq n \leq 4\) and for certain \(k\)-forms (of parabolic type), has been investigated by \textit{D. J. Wright} and \textit{A. Yukie} [Invent. Math. 110, No. 2, 283--314 (1992; Zbl 0803.12004)], and this paper is a continuation of it.
