Quadratic forms, linear algebraic groups, and cohomology

The invited papers collected in this volume address topics related to the research of Raman Parimala (plenary speaker at the upcoming ICM 2010). These themes focus primarily on the interplay between algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry. The included contributions cover exciting research in areas suchas field patching and a proof of the Serre's Conjecture II for function fields of complex surfaces. Presents the most recent research and developments in quadratic forms, linear algebraic groups and cohomology Dedicated to R. Parimala on the ocassion of her 60th birthday, containing a variety of papers relatedto the themes of her research Includes results on the following special topics: Iwasawa theory, Witt groups and sheafs, Chow motives, quaternion algebras, p-adic curves, and a proof of the Serre's Conjecture II for function fields ofcomplex surfaces INDICE: - Foreword.- Surveys.- Multiples of forms (Eva Bayer-Fluckiger).- On Saltman’s p-adic curves papers (Eric Brussel).- Serre’s Conjecture II: a survey (Philippe Gille).- Field patching, factorization, and local-global principles (Daniel Krashen).- Deformati
