Abstract:

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $2$ and let $K/F$ be a purely inseparable extension of exponent $1$. We determine the kernel $W(K/F)$ of the natural restriction map $WF\to WK$ between the Witt rings of bilinear forms of $F$ and $K$, respectively. This complements a result by Laghribi who computed the kernel for the Witt groups of quadratic forms for such an extension $K/F$. Based on this result, we will determine $W(K/F)$ for a wide class of finite extensions which are not necessarily purely inseparable.
