quadratic forms over a real plural algebra; plural signature; inertia theorem; free module; bilinear form; polar basis; linear algebra; quadratic form
Summary:
Quadratic forms on a free finite-dimensional module are investigated. It is shown that the inertial law can be suitably generalized provided the vector space is replaced by a free finite-dimensional module over a certain linear algebra over $\R$ ( real plural algebra) introduced in [1].
