Subordinate quadratic forms and isometric maps over semirings

英文摘要：

The paper expands the theory of quadratic forms on modules over a semiring R, introduced in [12]-[14], especially in the setup of tropical and supertropical algebra. Isometric linear maps induce subordination on quadratic forms, and provide a main tool in our current study. These maps allow lifts and pushdowns of quadratic forms on different modules, preserving basic characteristic properties.
