Witt group of Hermitian forms over a noncommutative discrete valuation ring
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate Hermitian forms on finitely generated torsion modules over a noncommutative discrete valuation ring. We also give some results for lattices, which still are satisfied even if the base ring is not commutative. Moreover, for a noncommutative discrete-valued division algebra D with valuation ring R and residual division algebra D̄, we prove that W(D̄) ∼=WT(R), where WT(R) denotes the Witt group of regular Hermitian forms on finitely generated torsion R-modules.

Hermitian categories, extension of scalars and systems of sesquilinear forms
In this paper we define a notion of Witt group for sesquilinear forms in hermitian categories, which in turn provides a notion of Witt group for sesquilinear forms over rings with involution. We also study the extension of scalars for K-linear hermitian categories, where K is a field of characteristic 6= 2. We finally extend several results concerning sesquilinear forms to the setting of system...
متن کاملWitt rings of quadratically presentable fields
This paper introduces an approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms based on {tmem{presentable}} partially ordered sets, that is partially ordered sets subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability. It turns out that the classical notion of the Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms over a field makes sense in the context of {tmem{quadratically p...
متن کاملHermitian Forms over Ordered ∗-fields
Let D be a division ring with an involution. Assuming that D admits Baer orderings, we can study the Witt group of hermitian froms over D by observing its image in the ring of continuous functions on the space of orderings. We are led to define a new class of rings which, when viewed in an abstract setting, provide a natural generalization of the spaces of orderings and real spectra studied in ...
متن کاملSpringer’s Theorem for Tame Quadratic Forms over Henselian Fields
A quadratic form over a Henselian-valued field of arbitrary residue characteristic is tame if it becomes hyperbolic over a tamely ramified extension. The Witt group of tame quadratic forms is shown to be canonically isomorphic to the Witt group of graded quadratic forms over the graded ring associated to the filtration defined by the valuation, hence also isomorphic to a direct sum of copies of...
متن کاملNoncommutative Symmetric Functions Associated with a Code, Lazard Elimination, and Witt Vectors
The construction of the universal ring of Witt vectors is related to Lazard’s factorizations of free monoids by means of a noncommutative analogue. This is done by associating to a code a specialization of noncommutative symmetric functions.
