Quadratic and symmetric bilinear forms on modules with unique base over a semiring
Documenta mathematica, Tome 21 (2016), pp. 773-808
We study quadratic forms on free modules with unique base, the situation that arises in tropical algebra, and prove the analog of Witt's Cancelation Theorem. Also, the tensor product of an indecomposable bilinear module (U,γ) with an indecomposable quadratic module (V,q) is indecomposable, with the exception of one case, where two indecomposable components arise.
