Nov 25, 2020 at 14:06 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @FZaldivar: I added the Vishik result to Wikipedia, filling that lacuna. Thanks.
Nov 25, 2020 at 13:52 comment added LSpice @JosephO'Rourke, thanks! Fortunately this sequence of fixed-up links seems to have converged. :-)
Nov 25, 2020 at 12:07 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @LSpice: Typo in your link. Here it is: DOI.
Nov 25, 2020 at 5:25 comment added LSpice The ZBM link @FZaldivar mentioned: Vishik - Fields of $u$-invariant $2^r + 1$ (link to article).
Nov 25, 2020 at 2:30 comment added F Zaldivar A. Vishik has constructed fields with $u$-invariant $2^r+1$ for every $r\geq 3$; see: <a href="zbmath.org/?q=an%3A1236.11037">zbm</a>
Nov 25, 2020 at 2:17 comment added F Zaldivar T. Y. Lam calls these three cases a "folklore result" and proves them in Propositions 6.8 and 6.9 of his book " Introduction to quadratic forms over fields" (AMS, 2005).. He also remarks that these cases were known before Merkurev's work. Your question is quite interesting.

Nov 25, 2020 at 2:04 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @FZaldivar: Oh, I see. Yes, that came prior to $u=9$. I will edit the question. Thanks.
Nov 25, 2020 at 2:01 comment added F Zaldivar According to the review you link to, "It is not difficult to show that $u\neq 3,5,7$"
