This paper deals with field invariants like Diophantine dimension, \(p\)-cohomological dimension, \(u\)-invariant (for \(p=2\)) and \(\lambda_p\)-invariant, i.e. the minimal number \(n\) such that every element \(c \in \text{Br}_p F\) is a sum of \(n\) classes of algebras of degree \(p\). Several interesting inequalities are derived, especially for the quadratic case \((p=2)\). Some of them depend on the Milnor Conjecture \(K^M (F)/2 = H^{\ast} (F, \mathbb{Z}/2)\). In an Appendix a result on divided powers in Milnor \(K\)-Theory is proved.
