Abstract

Let FF be a field of characteristic p>0p>0 and let Ωn(F)\Omega^n(F) be the FF-vector space of nn-differential forms over FF. In this work we will study the behaviour of Ωn(F)\Omega^n(F) under iterated function field extensions of pp-forms. We will use results from a previous work to rewrite the kernel of the restriction map Ωn(F)Ωn(F(φ1,,φr))\Omega^n(F) \to \Omega^n(F(\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_r)) to a set of differential forms annihilated by specific forms given by the norm fields of φ1,,φr\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_r. We will close this work by translating the new resluts to the theory of bilinear forms over fields of characteristic 22.
