Weak Kahn descent conjecture for quadratic forms

About 1 year old · traced to

Let qq be an anisotropic quadratic form over kk, let K=k(q)K=k(q), and let rr be a quadratic form defined over KK. Let Wnr(K/k)W_{\mathrm{nr}}(K/k) denote the unramified Witt ring. Weak Kahn descent conjecture. For some nn, if

dim⁡r<2n<12dim⁡q\operatorname{dim} r<2^n<\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{dim} q

and r∈Wnr(K/k)r\in W_{\mathrm{nr}}(K/k), then rr is defined over kk. The paper presents this as a weaker version of Kahn's conjecture and uses it in the study of invertible summands of Morava motives.
