A survey of trace forms of algebraic number fields / P.E. Conner & R. Perlis

Information About

This manuscript presents insights on trace forms, with some of the unsolved problems. It concludes that the trace form is a weak, but non-trivial, invariant capable of providing some concrete information about finite separable extensions.
