Vishik's dimension conjecture for anisotropic quadratic forms in powers of the fundamental ideal
Vishik's dimension conjecture for anisotropic quadratic forms in powers of the fundamental ideal
Let be a field with characteristic different from , let be the -th power of the fundamental ideal in the Witt ring , and let be an anisotropic quadratic form whose Witt class lies in . Assume and .
Vishik's conjecture. There is some such that
This conjecture gives the remaining possible dimensions below after the Arason–Pfister theorem and Vishik's exclusions of the intervening range. The source reports that Vishik announced a proof, but that proof was not available there; its resolution should therefore be checked.
