Differential forms, linked fields, and the u-invariant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We associate an Albert form to any pair of cyclic algebras of prime degree p over a field F with char(F) = p which coincides with the classical Albert form when p = 2. We prove that if every Albert form is isotropic, then H-4(F) = 0.

Kato-Milne Cohomology and Polynomial Forms

open access: yes, 2018
Given a prime number $p$, a field $F$ with $\operatorname{char}(F)=p$ and a positive integer $n$, we study the class-preserving modifications of Kato-Milne classes of decomposable differential forms.

Gorenstein Witt Rings II [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The abstract Witt rings which are Gorenstein have been classified when the dimension is one and the classification problem for those of dimension zero has been reduced to the case of socle degree three.

Common Slots of Bilinear and Quadratic Pfister Forms

open access: yes, 2018
We show that over any field $F$ of $\operatorname{char}(F)=2$ and 2-rank $n$, there exist $2^n$ bilinear $n$-fold Pfister forms that have no slot in common. This answers a question of Becher's in the negative.

Koszul Complexes and Symmetric Forms over the Punctured Affine Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Let X be a regular separated scheme of finite Krull dimension and let $U^{n}_{X} \subset A^{n}_{X}$ be the punctured affine n-space over X. We show that the total graded Witt ring of $U^{n}_{X}$ is a free graded module over the total graded Witt ring of ...

Morava K-theory of twisted flag varieties [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In the present article we prove some results about the Morava K-theory. In particular, we construct an operation from the Morava K-theory to the Chow theory analogous to the second Chern class for Grothendieck's K0-theory.

Annihilating polynomials of excellent quadratic forms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
.: If φ is an excellent form, then it is possible to use the dimensions of the higher complements of φ to obtain an annihilating polynomial of φ of low degree.

Descent properties of hermitian Witt groups in inseparable extensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Let k be a field of characteristic ≠ 2, A be a central simple algebra with involution σ over k and W(A, σ) be the associated Witt group of hermitian forms.

Vector bundles of rank four and A_3 = D_3

open access: yes, 2012
Over a scheme with 2 invertible, we show that a vector bundle of rank four has a sub or quotient line bundle if and only if the canonical symmetric bilinear form on its exterior square has a lagrangian subspace.

Witt groups of Grassmann varieties

open access: yes, 2012
We compute the total Witt groups of (split) Grassmann varieties, over any regular base X. The answer is a free module over the total Witt ring of X. We provide an explicit basis for this free module, which is indexed by a special class of Young diagrams,
