Quadratic forms in I n of dimension 2 n +2 n-1
[Formes quadratiques de dimension 2 n +2 n-1 dans I n ]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 362 (2024), pp. 1539-1543.

Pour n3, en confirmant une version faible d’une conjecture de Hoffmann, on montre que toute forme quadratique anisotrope de dimension 2 n +2 n-1 dans I n se déploie sur une extension finie du corps de base d’un degré qui n’est pas divisible par 4. Le premier nouveau cas est celui de n=4, où l’on obtient une classification des formes quadratiques correspondantes à une extension de degré impair près ce qui donne une forte borne supérieure pour leur 2-dimension essentielle. De plus, on détermine le groupe de Chow réduit de la grassmannienne orthogonale maximale de la forme quadratique et on en déduit que sa dimension 2-canonique est égale à 2 n +2 n-2 -2.

For n3, confirming a weak version of a conjecture of Hoffmann, we show that every anisotropic quadratic form in I n of dimension 2 n +2 n-1 splits over a finite extension of the base field of degree not divisible by 4. The first new case is n=4, where we obtain a classification of the corresponding quadratic forms up to odd degree base field extensions and get this way a strong upper bound on their essential 2-dimension. As well, we compute the reduced Chow group of the maximal orthogonal grassmannian of the quadratic form and conclude that its canonical 2-dimension is 2 n +2 n-2 -2.
