Let E be a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field of characteristic p > 0; dim E = n. Let (x,y) be a symmetric bilinear form in E. The radical Eo of this form is the subspace consisting of all the vectors x which satisfy (x,y) = 0 for every y ϵ E. The rank r of our form is the codimension of the radical.
