Hasse–Minkowski theorem
In mathematics, the Hasse–Minkowski theorem states that a quadratic form is isotropic globally if and only if it is everywhere isotropic locally; it is the classic local-global principle. Here to be isotropic means to that there is some non-zero vector for which the quadratic form returns zero as a value.
