Witt kernels of bilinear forms for algebraic extensions in characteristic

Let be a field of characteristic and let be a purely inseparable extension of exponent . We determine the kernel of the natural restriction map between the Witt rings of bilinear forms of and , respectively. This complements a result by Laghribi who computed the kernel for the Witt groups of quadratic forms for such an extension . Based on this result, we will determine for a wide class of finite extensions which are not necessarily purely inseparable.
