Refinements to Patching and Applications to Field Invariants

Abstract: We introduce a notion of refinements in the context of patching, in order to obtain new results about local-global principles and field invariants in the context of quadratic forms and central simple algebras. The fields we consider are finite extensions of the fraction fields of two-dimensional complete domains that need not be local. Our results in particular give the u-invariant and period-index bound for these fields, as consequences of more general abstract results.

“…Since R is a regular local ring of dimension 2, there exists a finite sequence of blow-ups X → Spec R at the closed point of Spec( R) and closed points on the exceptional curves such that the support of µ on X is a union of regular curves with normal crossings [Abh69] or [Lip75]. Since any exceptional curve is the projective line over a finite extension of k, there exists a finite sequence of blow-ups X → Spec(R) such that X × Spec(R) Spec R = X (see [HHK15,prop. 3.6]).…”

“…Descent of field extensions. The following two statements generalize Proposition 3.5 of [HHK15b]; by the trivial étale algebra (of degree n) over a field L we mean the direct product of n copies of L. Proposition 2.3. Let X be a normal model of a semi-global field F , let P be a closed point of X , let ℘ be a branch of the closed fiber X at P , and let E ℘ be a finite separable field extension of F ℘ .…”
