Abstract: Let Gamma be a finite group and (V,q) be a regular quadratic Gamma-form defined over an integral domain $mathcal{O}_S$ of a global function field (of odd characteristic). We use flat cohomology to classify the quadratic Gamma-forms defined over $mathcal{O}_S$ that are locally Gamma-isomorphic for the flat topology to (V,q) and compare between the genus c(q) and the Gamma-genus c_{Gamma}(q) of q. We show that c_{Gamma}(q) should not inject in c(q). The suggested obstruction arises from the failure of the Witt cancellation theorem for $mathcal{O}_S$.
