Abstract
Let \(S=(G,-1, D_G)\) be a Cordes scheme. In this paper, along with generalizing the results of splitting probability invariant of fields to Cordes schemes, it is also shown that \(p_s(S)>1/2\) if and only if S is a generalized Hilbert scheme except when S is a scheme of a formally real field with \(|G/R(S) |=4\), where R(S) denotes the radical of S. We also prove that if \(S_1, S_2\) are generalized Hilbert schemes, \(P(S_i)=\{p_s(S_i^{T_n}) : |T_n |= 2^n \text { and } n \in \mathbb {N}\}\); \(i=1, 2\) and \(|P(S_1) \cap P(S_2) |> 1\), then \(P(S_1)=P(S_2)\).
