Abstract

The fields k admitted in this chapter are the same as those of Chapter Twelve but with the additional proviso that ko is archimedean ordered. (E, Φ) will be a non degenerate hermitean space of dimension אo which is weakly universal and has l ∈||Φ||. In contrast to Chapter Twelve the space (E, Φ) is not assumed to be positive definite.
