Quadratic algebras : involution and norm.

Let R be a commutative ring. We define:

• QuadraticAlgebra.star : the quadratic involution

• QuadraticAlgebra.norm : the norm

We prove :

• QuadraticAlgebra.isUnit_iff_norm_isUnit: w : QuadraticAlgebra R a b is a unit iff w.norm is a unit in R.

• QuadraticAlgebra.norm_mem_nonZero_divisors_iff: w : QuadraticAlgebra R a b isn't a zero divisor iff w.norm isn't a zero divisor in R.

• If R is a field, and ∀ r, r ^ 2 ≠ a + b * r, then QuadraticAlgebra R a b is a field.
