Twisted Bhargava cubes (Q482299)

Bhargava, in some previous works, has extended Gauss's composition law for binary quadratic forms to more general situations: he determined the integral orbits of a prehomogeneous vector space which arises naturally in the structure theory of the split group \(\mathrm{Spin}_8\). In the paper under review, the authors consider the twisted version of this prehomogeneous vector space which arises in quasisplit \(\mathrm{Spin}_{8}^{E}\), where \(E\) is a separable cubic algebra over a field \(F\). They also classify the generic orbits over \(F\) by twisted composition \(F\)-algebras of \(E\)-dimension \(2\).
