SUMMARY

The expression x² - y² + 3xy - x⁴ + 5y⁴ + z⁴ - 2t⁴ + 3xyzt - 6x²tz + 5x²y² is not a 4-linear form. It is classified as a 4th degree polynomial in four variables. The confusion arises from the presence of mixed terms, including quadratic and quartic components, which do not conform to the definition of a linear form in multiple variables.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of polynomial expressions and their degrees

Is this a 4-linear form ??

rather a silly question, but i am a bit confused , could we consider the expression

[tex]x^{2}-y^{2}+3xy-x^{4}+5y^{4}+ z^{4}-2t^{4}+3xyzt-6x^{2}tz+ 5x^{2}y^{2}[/tex]

or even in general [tex]A_{i,j}x^{i}x^{j}-Q_{i,j,k,l}x^{i}x^{j}x^{k}x^^{l}[/tex]

could be considered a 4-linear form??.. i believe this is linear on every argument x^{i} but there seems to be 'mixed up' a 2-from plus a 4-form so i,m not sure what exactly is the proposed object.
