Lectures on formally real fields
From MaRDI portal
Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to number theory (11-02) Forms over real fields (11E10) General binary quadratic forms (11E16) Research exposition (monographs, survey articles) pertaining to field theory (12-02) Fields related with sums of squares (formally real fields, Pythagorean fields, etc.) (12D15)
In 1974 the notes of these lectures appeared in the series 'Monografias de Matemática' as No.22 published by IMPA (see the preceding review). It seems wise not to make changes in this new edition apart from correcting misprints and a few minor errors: The only change made is to replace the term 'q-ordering' by 'semiordering', since the latter term turned out to be almost exclusively used in the recent literature. For the developments during the last decade in this theory, particularly in the theory of reduced quadratic forms, I would like to refer the reader to two publications of \textit{T. Y. Lam}: his survey article 'The theory of ordered fields' [Lect. Notes Pure Appl. Math. 55, 1-152 (1980; Zbl 0442.12024)] and to his expository notes 'Orderings, valuations and quadratic forms' [Reg. Conf. Ser. Math. 52 (1983; Zbl 0516.12001)].
