Let \(\mathcal F\) be a perfect field of characteristic 2. Let \(W_qK\) denote the Witt group of quadratic forms of a field \(K\). The main theorem of the paper under review gives an analogue of the Milnor-Scharlau sequence in characteristic \(\neq 2\). In even characteristic we get the exact sequence \[ 0\rightarrow W_q{\mathcal F}\rightarrow W_q{\mathcal F}(x)\rightarrow \bigoplus_vW_1 {\mathcal F}(x)_v\rightarrow W_q{\mathcal F}\rightarrow 0 \] where the direct sum is taken over discrete valuations on \({\mathcal F}(x)\), the first map being the inclusion. Furthermore, \(W_1 F_v= \text{cokern} [W_q\overline F_v\rightarrow W_qF_v]\), where the map is induced by the Teichmüller embedding \(\overline F_v\subset F_v\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1052.11001].
