Abstract

We study the necessary conditions for sets of quadratic n-fold Pfister forms to have a common (n−1)-fold Pfister factor. For any set S of n-fold Pfister forms generating a subgroup of Iⁿ _qF/Iⁿ⁺¹ _qF of order 2^s in which every element has an n-fold Pfister representative, we associate an invariant in Iⁿ⁺¹ _qF which lives inside I^n+s−1 _qF when the forms in S have a common (n−1)-fold Pfister factor. We study the properties of this invariant and compute it explicitly in a few interesting cases.
