✦ Synopsis
Let k be a field of characteristic not two, let f x , x gk x , x be an h 0 1 0 1 irreducible homogeneous polynomial and denote the ring of elements of degree w x w x zero in the homogeneous localization k x , x by k x , x . For deg f s 3 it 0 1 f 0 1 Žf . h h h w x is proved that the composition algebras over k x , x not containing zero 0 1 Žf . h Ž . divisors are defined over k and that there is at most one split composition algebra w x not defined over k. For deg f s 4 all composition algebras over k x , x are h 0 1 Žf . h enumerated and partly classified.
