Abstract:  Patching methods are usually used to construct global objects
from more local ones. On the other hand, 

algebraic objects can sometimes  be understood from their local behavior,
i.e., they satisfy a local-global principle. 

In this talk, we explain a patching setup and how it leads to local-global
principles for certain linear algebraic groups. 

As a motivation and guiding example we consider quadratic forms.
