Abstract
Let F be a local field with ring of integers 0 and prime ideal π0. If V is a vector space over F, a lattice L in F is defined as an 0-module in the vector space V with the property that the elements of L have bounded denominators in the basis for V. If V is, in addition, a quadratic space, the lattice L then has a quadratic structure superimposed on it. Two lattices on V are then said to be isometric if there is an isometry of V that maps one onto the other. In this paper, we consider the following problem: given two elements, v and w, of the lattice L over the regular quadratic space V, find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an isometry on L that maps v onto w.

Some extensions of Witt's theorem†

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend Witt's theorem to several kinds of simultaneous isometries of subspaces and show sufficient and necessary conditions for the isometry of generic flags or the simultaneous isometry (subspace, self-dual flag) pairs.
