The present paper shows that if $q \in \mathbb P$ or $q = 0$, where $\mathbb P$ is the set of prime numbers, then there exist characteristic $q$ fields $E _{q,k}\colon \ k \in \mathbb N$, of Brauer dimension Brd$(E _{q,k}) = k$ and infinite…

Let K be a complete discretely valued field of characteristic 0 with residue field k of characteristic p. Let n=[k:k^p] be the p-rank of k. It was proved by Parimala and Suresh that the Brauer p-dimension of K lies between n/2 and 2n. For…
