Abstract
|
We prove the existence of a set of cardinality
of
-fold Pfister forms
over
which do not
share a common
-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.
