We study the trace form q L of G ‐Galois algebras L / K when G is a finite group and K is a field of characteristic different from 2. We introduce in this paper the category of 2‐reduced groups and, when G is such a group, we use a formula of Serre to compute the second Hasse–Witt invariant of q L . By combining this computation with work of Quillen we determine the isometry class of q L for large families of G ‐Galois algebras over global fields. We also indicate how our results generalize to Galois G ‐covers of schemes.
