For a field k of characteristic not two, it is known that k is algebraically closed in the function field of any (non-degenerate) quadratic form in three or more variables. In this note we consider fields of characteristic two and decide when k is algebraically closed in a function field of a quadratic k-form. For quadratic forms in three variables this has recently been done by Ohm.

We investigate the classical Pólya and Turán conjectures in the context of rational function fields over finite fields 𝔽q. Related to these two conjectures we investigate the sign of truncations of Dirichlet L-functions at point s=1 corresponding to quadratic characters over 𝔽q[t], prove a variant of a theorem of Landau for arbitrary sets of monic, irreducible polynomials over 𝔽q[t] and calculate the mean value of certain variants of the Liouville function over 𝔽q[t].
