Q

What is symmetric bilinear form B if B(v,v) = 0

A

If B(v,v) = 0, then B identical to 0
B(v,v) + B(v,w) + B(w,v) + B(w,w) = 2B(v,w) and 2 =/ 0

Q

What does the diagonalisable theorem state

A

Diagonalisation theorem states that:
Can find basis v1,…,vn of V s.t
B(vi,vj) = 0 if I=/ j I.e B has diagonal matrix w.r.t basis
Call v1,…,vn diagonalising basis

Q

What is Sylvester’s theorem

A

Sylvester’s theorem is:
If B is a symmetric bilinear form of sig(p,q), then:
P + q = rank B
Any diagonal matrix representing B has p positive entries and q negative entries

Q

When is a symmetric bilinear form B positive/negative definite

A

Symmetric bilinear form B is positive definite on V if B(v,v) > 0 for all v in V\0 and negative definite if -B is positive definite

Q

What is signature of B

A

Signature of B is (p,q) where:
P = max(dim U | U <= V and B is positive definite) (No of positive entries)
Q = max(dimW| W <= V and B is neg definite (no of negative entries)
