Abstract

We study quadratic forms on free modules with uniquebase, the situation that arises in tropical algebra, and prove the analogof Witt’s Cancelation Theorem. Also, the tensor product of anindecomposable bilinear module (U, γ) with an indecomposable quadraticmodule (V, q) is indecomposable, with the exception of one case,where two indecomposable components arise.
