In all this paper, p is a prime number and F is a field of characteristic 6= p. The invariants we are interested in are: • The p-cohomological dimension cdp(F ) [16]. • The diophantine dimension dd(F ) := inf{i | F is Ci} [5]. • (For p = 2) The quadratic diophantine dimension ddq(F ) := inf{i | F is C i }, where C q i is the condition introduced by Pfister [13]. • (For p = 2) The u-invariant u(F ) [8, ch. 11]. • The λp-invariant [7]: for an element c ∈ pBr(F ) = H(F, μp), λp(c) = inf{n | c is a sum of n classes of algebras of degree p}; λp(F ) = sup{λp(c) | c ∈ pBr(F )}. • The λp-invariant [7]: for c as above, λp(c) = logp ind c, where ind c is the Schur index of any central simple algebra representing c; λp(F ) = sup{λp(c) | c ∈ pBr(F )}. To muddy water a little more, we shall also consider the stable λp and λp-invariants λp(F ) = sup{λp(E) | E/F finite separable, ([E : F ], p) = 1} λp(F ) = sup{λp(E) | E/F finite separable, ([E : F ], p) = 1}
