Abstract: Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $2$. For each non-trivial place $v$ of $K$, let $K_v$ be the completion of $K$ at $v$. We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every $K_v$, then they are similar over $K$. This provides an analogue of the version for characteristic not $2$ previously obtained by T.Ono.

Review text

The author proves a Hasse principle (local-global-theorem) for similarity of quadratic forms over global fields in characteristic 2. For characteristic \(\ne 2\) this was obtained by \textit{T. Ono} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 7, 79--91 (1955; Zbl 0065.01201); Nagoya Math. J. 9, 129--146 (1955; Zbl 0066.28002)].
