Abstract :
We shall investigate Witt equivalence of function fields of rational conic sections and try to count as many Witt non-equivalent classes of such fields as possible. The results to be presented rely heavily on a number of theorems published already in the 1930s and provide a new insight to the history of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms. This is joint work with Przemyslaw Koprowski and Murray Marshall.
