The second-level classification conjecture for low-dimensional forms in
Let be a field, let denote the th power of the fundamental ideal in the Witt ring of , and let -fold Pfister forms be tensor products of binary forms. An Albert form is a -dimensional symmetric bilinear form of trivial discriminant. Let be an integer with , and let be an anisotropic symmetric bilinear form of dimension over . The second-level classification conjecture. If represents an element of , then there are an -fold Pfister form and an Albert form over such that
This conjecture extends the known classification of forms at the first level and the characteristic-not-two results for dimensions and ; its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
