Real Quaternions

We denote by F the field R of real numbers, the field C of complex numbers, or the skew field H of real quaternions, and by Fn an n dimensional left vector space over F. If A is a matrix with elements in F, we denote by A* its conjugate transpose. In all three cases of F, an n × n matrix A is said to be hermitian if A = A*, and we say that two n × n hermitian matrices A and B with elements in F can be diagonalized simultaneously if there exists a non singular matrix U with elements in F such that UAU* and UBU* are diagonal matrices. We shall regard a vector u ∈ Fn as a l × n matrix and identify a 1 × 1 matrix with its single element, and we shall denote by diag {A1, …, Am} a diagonal block matrix with the square matrices A1, …, Am lying on its diagonal.

Pythagoras Number

We introduce the n–th product Pythagoras number p n(D), the skew field analogue of the n–th Pythagoras number of a field. For a valued skew field (D, v) where v has the property of preserving sums of permuted products of n–th powers when passing to the residue skew field k v and where Newton's lemma holds for polynomials of the form Xn - a, a ∈ 1 + I v , p n(D) is bounded above by either p n( k v ) or p n( k v ) + 1. Spherical completeness of a valued skew field (D, v) implies that the Newton's lemma holds for Xn - a, a ∈ 1 + I v but the lemma does not hold for arbitrary polynomials. Using the above results we deduce that p n (D((G))) = p n(D) for skew fields of generalized Laurent series.

Term Field

Let L be a finite-dimensional Lie algebra and U(L) its universal envelope. It is known that U(L) is a Noetherian domain (see (5), theorem v. 3·4) and therefore U(L) has a field of fractions. (Throughout the paper we use the term ‘field’ in the sense of skew field.) We prove in this article the following theorem.
