Linkage of Pfister forms over $\mathbb C(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$

Adam Chapman and Jean-Pierre Tignol

Vol. 4 (2019), No. 3, 521–524
Abstract

We prove the existence of a set of cardinality 2n of n-fold Pfister forms over (x1,,xn) which do not share a common (n 1)-fold factor. This gives a negative answer to a question raised by Becher. The main tools are the existence of the dyadic valuation on the complex numbers and recent results on symmetric bilinear forms over fields of characteristic 2.
