From Usual to Derived Witt Groups

چکیده

We establish that the derived Witt group is isomorphic to the usual Witt group when 2 is invertible. This key result opens the Ali Baba's cave of triangular Witt groups, linking the abstract results of Part I to classical questions for the usual Witt group. For commercial purposes, we survey the future applications of triangular Witt groups in the introduction. We also establish a connection between odd-indexed Witt groups and formations. Finally, we prove that over a commutative local ring in which 2 is a unit, the shifted derived Witt groups are all zero but the usual one.

From the Global Signature to Higher Signatures

Let X be an algebraic variety over the field of real numbers R. We use the signature of a quadratic form to produce “higher” global signatures relating the derived Witt groups of X to the singular cohomology of the real points X(R) with integer coefficients. We also study the global signature ring homomorphism and use the powers of the fundamental ideal in the Witt ring to prove an integral ver...

Finiteness Theorems for the Shifted Witt and Higher Grothendieck-witt Groups of Arithmetic Schemes

For smooth varieties over finite fields, we prove that the shifted (aka derived) Witt groups of surfaces are finite and the higher GrothendieckWitt groups (aka Hermitian K-theory) of curves are finitely generated. For more general arithmetic schemes, we give conditional results, for example, finite generation of the motivic cohomology groups implies finite generation of the Grothendieck-Witt gr...

Witt 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...

Shifted Witt Groups of Semi-local Rings

We show that the odd-indexed derived Witt groups of a semilocal ring with trivial involution vanish. We show that this is wrong when the involution is not trivial and we provide examples.

Ramification groups in Artin - Schreier - Witt extensions par Lara

Let K be a local field of characteristic p > 0. The aim of this paper is to describe the ramification groups for the prop abelian extensions over K with regards to the Artin-SchreierWitt theory. We shall carry out this investigation entirely in the usual framework of local class field theory. This leads to a certain non-degenerate pairing that we shall define in detail, generalizing in this way...
