On generalized Albert forms over discretely valued fields

From MaRDI portal





Detlef Hoffmann conjectured that for \(n\geq 2\) a quadratic form \(\varphi\) of \(\dim(\varphi)=2^n+2^{n-1}\) over a field \(F\) of characteristic \(\neq 2\) whose Witt class \([\varphi]\) lies in the \(n\)-th power \(I^n(F)\) of the fundamental ideal of the Witt ring \(W(F) \) is a generalized Albert form.\N\NNow let \(R\) be a discrete valuation ring with residue field \(F\) and quotient field \(K\) both of characteristic not \(2\). The aim of the paper under review is to give some going up and going down theorems for forms of dimension \(2^n+2^{n-1}\) in \(I^n(F)\) resp. \(I^n(K)\). One of the results states that if the conjecture holds for \(n\) and \(n-1\) for \(K\) then it holds for \(K\) for \(n\)
