| Abstract: This is a joint work with Uriya First. Let R be a semi-local Dedekind domain. Under certain assumptions, we show that two (not necessarily unimodular) hermitian forms over an R-algebra with involution that are rationally isometric are isometric over R. The result can be regarded as a first step towards a version of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for certain non-reductive group schemes over Spec R. |
