Abstract: Let $Ngeq2$ be an integer, $F$ a quadratic form in $N$ variables over $$, and $$ an $L$-dimensional subspace, $1leqLleqN$. We prove the existence of a small-height maximal totally isotropic subspace of the bilinear space $(Z,F)$. This provides an analogue over $$ of a well-known theorem of Vaaler proved over number fields. We use our result to prove an effective version of Witt decomposition for a bilinear space over $$. We also include some related effective results on orthogonal decomposition and structure of isometries for a bilinear space over $$. This extends previous results of the author over number fields. All bounds on height are explicit.
