Abstract:
The unramified Witt group of an anisotropic conic over a field , with , defined by the form is known to be a quotient of the Witt group of and isomorphic to . We compute the unramified cohomology group , where is the three dimensional anisotropic quadric defined by the quadratic form over . We use these computations to study the unramified Witt group of .
