Cohomological invariants of structurable algebras Ghent University
A common theme in algebra is to understand algebraic structures over arbitrary fields by first studying them over their algebraic closure and then investigating the possible ways to "descend" to the base field again. A typical example occurs in the theory of quadratic forms over an arbitrary field. In order to decide when two given quadratic forms are non-isometric, a useful tool is to define invariants for quadratic forms; typical (easy) ...
