A note on the computation of symmetric powers of hyperbolic forms and of trace froms on symbol algebras
Flatley, Ronan (Scientific Advances Publishers, 2014)Let K be a field with characteristic different from 2 and let S be a symbol algebra over K. We compute the symmetric powers of hyperbolic quadratic forms over K. Also, we compute the symmetric powers of the quadratic trace ... -

Trace forms of symbol algebras (Pre-published version)
Flatley, Ronan (World Scientific Publishing Complany, 2012)Let S be a symbol algebra. The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not. In addition, the exterior powers of the trace form of S are computed.
