Artin's conjecture on forms over the -adic numbers
For a field , say that it is if, for every form of degree with , the equation
has a nontrivial solution in . Artin's conjecture. For each prime number , the field is . The conjecture is false: Terjanian gave a counterexample in degree and , later generalized to arbitrary .
