u-Invariants of p-adic function fields

In his Paper "Fields of u-invariant 9" Oleg Izhboldin points out that for a algebraic closed, finitely generated field $k$ we have $u(k)= 2^{cd(k)}$. In particular we have $u(\mathbb{C}((t_1),..(t_n …

Cohomological dimension of transcendental p-adic extensions

Let $q$ denote a quadratic form over a field $k$. The u-invariant of a field $u(k)$ is defined by $u(k):=\{ max (\mathrm{rank}(q)) $ | $ q $ is anisotropic over $k\}$. Let $k = \mathbb{Q}_p$ for any …

Dimension of binary motives of a quadric

Let $Q$ be a anisotropic quadric of dimension $d$ over $k$. We work in the category of effective Chow-Motives over $k$. Let $T$ be the Tate-Motive. For a motive $M$ we write $M(l)$ for its $l$-th Tate …

Rost Correspondence and minimal Pfister-Neighbors

In http://www.math.uiuc.edu/K-theory/0357/ Karpenko utters the following: Conjecture 1.6. If an anisotropic quadric $X = Q$ possesses a Rost correspondence, then the quadratic form (defining $X$ …

Rank four quadratic Form with non trivial discriminant in I(k)

Im sure this is a beginners question. Let $k$ be a field and $I(k)$ the fundamental ideal in the Witt-ring W(k). The Arason-Pfister-Hauptsatz states: "If $\varphi$ is any anisotropic class in $I^n …

Constructing groups of Type E^{66}_{7,1} having non trivial Tits algebra

This can be considered as a continuation of my last useful question: Constructing groups of Type E7 with certain Tits Index It is known that a quadratic form $q$ of dimension $12$, having splitting …

The splitting pattern of the Killing form of an algebraic group and the Tits index

Let us assume that $G$ is an anisotropic semisimple, connected algebraic group over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $K_G$ denote the class of its Killing form in the Witt ring of $k$. Let $X$ …

Quadrics contained in the (complex) Cayley plane

In the paper Ilev, Manivel - The Chow ring of the Cayley plane we can learn, that $CH^8(X)$, with $X := E_6/P_1$, denoting the Cayley plane, has three generators with one of them being the class of …

Norm variety for n=5, p=2 not isomorphic to a quadric

In the paper "Motivic construction of cohomological invariants", the author displays a list of known norm varieties for several $n,p$ on page $11$. For $p=2, n=5$ it says that a norm variety is given …
