Abstract
We associate an -fold Pfister form to any -tuple of -linked Pfister forms of dimensions , and prove its invariance under the different symbol presentations of the forms with a common -fold sub-symbol. We then show that it vanishes when the forms are actually -linked or when the characteristic is 2 and the forms are inseparably -linked. We study whether the converse statements hold or not.
