The u-invariant of the function fields of p-adic curves
The u-invariant of a field is the maximum dimension of ansiotropic quadratic
forms over the field. It is an open question whether the u-invariant of
function fields of p-aidc curves is 8. In this paper, we answer this question
in the affirmative for function fields of non-dyadic p-adic curves.Comment: 20 page
