Generalised quadratic forms and the u-invariant [PDF]
The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in characteristic 2 and
