II.—Further Invariant Theory of two Quadratics in n Variables
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 September 2014
Extract
In the following pages we propose to clear up certain difficulties which have arisen in the theory of invariants belonging to two quadratic forms homogeneous in n variables x1, x2, …, xn. We denote such a set by a single symbol x, and take it as fundamental that any non-zero set x represents a point in space of n – 1 dimensions. We deal with any number of cogredient sets, x, y, z, x1, x2, etc., each representing a point, of which n at most are linearly independent in this space Sn–1. A prime u is a space Sn–2, lying wholly in the Sn–1, and therefore determined by n–1 linearly independent points.
