Symmetric bilinear forms and local epsilon factors of isolated singularities in positive characteristic
A formula expresses the local epsilon factor of vanishing cycles in terms of a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form, with its sign given by the discriminant, refining the Milnor formula and generalizing the Arf invariant in characteristic 2.
