Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to prove an analogous correspondence for the above prehomogeneous vector space (1)-(3). For case (1) the correspondence is bijective. However, it turns out that the correspondence is not bijective for cases (2), (3). We describe the fiber structures of this correspondence in subsection 2-4. In section 1 we briefly review basic properties of the non-abelian Galois cohomology set and its relation to the orbit space G_k V_k^ss. In subsection 2-4 we consider the prehomogeneous vector spaces (1)-(3) respectively.


The purpose of this paper is to give a correspondence between the orbits of a prehomogeneous vector space and the conjugacy classes of homomorphisms from the Galois group of field extensions to the permutation group. In this paper the authors deal with the following three types of prehomogeneous vector spaces \((G,V)\) defined over an infinite field \(k\). (1) \(G=\text{GL}(2)_{k_1} \times \text{GL}(2)_k\) where \(k_1/k\) is a fixed quadratic extension and \(V\) is the space of pairs of binary Hermitian forms. (2) \(G=\text{GL}(1)_k \times \text{GL} (2)_{k_1}\) where \(k_1/k\) is a fixed cubic extension and \(V\) is an eight-dimensional representation of \(G\), which becomes the \(D_4\) cases of the previous paper [\textit{D. J. Wright} and \textit{A. Yukie}, Invent. Math. 110, 283--314 (1992; Zbl 0803.12004)] after a suitable field extension of \(k\). (3) \(G=\text{GL}(3)_{k_1} \times \text{GL}(2)_k\) where \(k_1/k\) is a fixed quadratic extension and \(V\) is the space of pairs of ternary Hermitian forms.
