Hermitian u-invariants over function fields of p-adic curves

Number Theory 2019-08-12 v8

Abstract

Let pp be an odd prime. Let FF be the function field of a pp-adic curve. Let AA be a central simple algebra of period 2 over FF with an involution σ\sigma. There are known upper bounds for the uu-invariant of hermitian forms over (A,σ)(A, \sigma). In this article we compute the exact values of the uu-invariant of hermitian forms over (A,σ)(A, \sigma).
