A comparison of finiteness conditions in quadratic form theory
Abstract
We discuss and relate finiteness conditions for certain field invariants which are studied in quadratic form theory. This includes the u-invariant, the reduced stability index and the symbol lengths for Galois cohomology groups with coefficients in μ2=\+1,-1\, as well as a new invariant called the splitting height.
