Is there a non-degenerate quadratic form on every finite abelian group?

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. A quadratic form on $G$ is a map $q: G \to \mathbb{C}^*$ such that $q(g) = q(g^{-1})$ and the symmetric function $b(g,h):= \frac{q(gh)}{q(g)q(h)}$ is a bicharacter, ...

Modularisation on group representations with arbitrary braiding

Applying the modularisation/deequivariantisation procedure to the representation category $\operatorname{Rep}_G$ of a finite group $G$ with trivial braiding gives the fibre functor to vector spaces. ...

Is a Lagrangian subgroup of a metric group isomorphic to its quotient?

A metric group is a finite abelian group $G$ with a quadratic function $$q:G\rightarrow \mathbb R/\mathbb Z\;,$$ that is, $$M(a,b):= q(a+b)-q(a)-q(b)$$ is bilinear in $a$ and $b$ [edit: and non-...
