The Arason invariant of orthogonal involutions
 
Analogues of the classical discriminant and Clifford algebra invariants of quadratic forms have been defined by Jacobson and Tits for central simple algebras with orthogonal involutions, which may be viewed as twisted forms of quadratic forms up to scalars. This talk will discuss the possibility of defining an invariant of orthogonal involutions with values in the Galois cohomology group of degree 3 with Z/2-coefficients on the model of the Arason invariant of quadratic forms. (Joint work with Anne Queguiner-Mathieu)
