Bounds on the hermitian u-invariants under quadratic field extensions
Abstract
The hermitian u-invariants of a central simple algebra with involution are studied. In this context, a new technique is obtained to give bounds for the behavior of these invariants under a quadratic field extension. This is applied to obtain bounds in terms of the index and the u-invariant of the base field.
