COMMON SLOTS OF BILINEAR AND QUADRATIC PFISTER FORMS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 May 2018
Abstract
We show that over any field $F$ of characteristic 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 [‘Triple linkage’, Ann.$K$-Theory, to appear] in the negative. We provide an analogous result also for quadratic Pfister forms.
