On a conjecture of Kato and Kuzumaki

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In 1986, Kato and Kuzumaki stated several conjectures in order to give a diophantine characterization of cohomological dimension of fields in terms of projective hypersurfaces of small degree and Milnor K -theory. We establish these conjectures for finite extensions of ℂ(x1,…, xn) and ℂ(x1,…, xn)((t)), and we prove new local-global principles over number fields and global fields of positive characteristic in the context of Kato and Kuzumaki’s conjectures.
