摘要
Let k be a global field of characteristic not 2, and let f is an element of k[X] be an irreducible polynomial. We show that a non-degenerate quadratic space has an isometry with minimal polynomial f if and only if such an isometry exists over all the completions of k. This gives a partial answer to a question of Milnor.
