Varieties and pure symbols
Abstract
In this article, we prove that the 2-isotropy of any projective variety is controlled by a pure symbol in the Milnor's K-theory (mod 2) of the flexible closure of the base field. We also show that such pure symbols control the 2-equivalence of field extensions as well as the numerical equivalence of algebraic cycles (with mod 2 coefficients).
