As an application we establish, for fields of characteristics zero, the validity of three conjectures in the theory of quadratic forms - the Milnor conjecture on the structure of the Witt ring, the Khan-Rost-Sujatha conjecture and the J-filtration conjecture. The first version of this paper was written in the spring of 1996.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-03T17:30:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12Gxx", "11Exx" ], "keywords": [ "quadratic forms", "application", "four-term exact sequence", "milnors k-theory mod", "first version" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study", "journal": "Ann.
