Springer's odd degree extension theorem for quadratic forms over semilocal rings

Résumé

A fundamental result of Springer says that a quadratic form over a field of characteristic not 2 is isotropic if it is so after an odd degree extension. In this paper we generalize Springer's theorem as follows. Let R be a an arbitrary semilocal ring, let S be a finite R-algebra of constant odd degree, which is étale or generated by one element, and let q be a nonsingular R-quadratic form whose base ring extension q S is isotropic. We show that then q is already isotropic.
