Abstract: We introduce the new notion of general bilinear forms (generalizing sesquilinear forms) and prove that for every ring $R$ (not necessarily commutative, possibly without involution) and every right $R$-module $M$ which is a generator (i.e. $R_R$ is a summand of $M^n$ for some $ninN$), there is a one-to-one correspondence between the anti-automorphisms of $End(M)$ and the general regular bilinear forms on $M$, considered up to similarity. This generalizes a well-known similar correspondence in the case $R$ is a field. We also demonstrate that there is no such correspondence for arbitrary $R$-modules. We use the generalized correspondence to show that there is a canonical set isomorphism between the orbits of the left action of $Inn(R)$ on the anti-automorphisms of $R$ and the orbits of the left action of $Inn(M_n(R))$ on the anti-automorphisms of $M_n(R)$, provided $R_R$ is the only right $R$-module $N$ satisfying $N^{n}cong{R}^n$. We also prove a variant of a theorem of Osborn. Namely, we classify all semisimple rings with involution admitting no non-trivial idempotents that are invariant under the involution.
