Hyperbolicity over function fields of quadrics

Abstract

A strong consequence of quadratic forms becoming hyperbolic over the function field of a form is established. This result is invoked to obtain a new characterisation of hyperbolicity over function fields, and to recover a number of important established results in quadratic form theory by means of novel, short and elementary proofs.
