Abstract:
Let $R$ be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic, $D$ an Azumaya $R$-algebra, $K$ the fraction field of $R$,
$\operatorname{Nrd}\colon D^{\times} \to R^{\times}$ the reduced norm homomorphism. Let $a \in R^{\times}$ be a unit. Suppose the equation $\operatorname{Nrd}=a$ has a solution over $K$,
then it has a solution over $R$.
Particularly, we prove the following. Let $R$ be as above and $a$, $b$, $c$ be units in $R$. Consider the equation $T^2_1-aT^2_2-bT^2_3+abT^2_4=c$.
If it has a solution over $K$, then it has a solution over $R$.
Similar results are proved for regular local rings, which are geometrically regular over a discrete valuation ring. These results extend result proved
in [23] to the mixed characteristic case.
