Local-global principle for quadratic forms over fraction fields of two-dimensional henselian domains

Abstract: Let

R

be a 2-dimensional normal excellent henselian local domain in which 2 is invertible and let

L

and

k

be respectively its fraction field and residue field. Let

O m e g a_{R}

be the set of rank 1 discrete valuations of

L

corresponding to codimension 1 points of regular proper models of

S p e c R

. We prove that a quadratic form

q

over

L

satisfies the local-global principle with respect to

O m e g a_{R}

in the following two cases: (1)

q

has rank 3 or 4; (2)

q

has rank

g e 5

and

R = A [y]

, where

A

is a complete discrete valuation ring with a not too restrictive condition on the residue field

k

, which is satisfied when

k

is

C_{1}

.
