Intersection homology with field coefficients: K-Witt spaces and K-Witt bordism
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct geometric examples of pseudomanifolds that satisfy the Witt condition for intersection homology Poincaré duality with respect to certain fields but not others. We also compute the bordism theory of K-Witt spaces for an arbitrary field K, extending results of Siegel for K = Q. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 55N33, 57Q20, 57N80

Corrigendum to “Intersection homology with field coefficients: K-Witt spaces and K-Witt bordism”
This note corrects an error in the char(K) = 2 case of the author’s computation of the bordism groups of K-Witt spaces for the field K. A complete computation is provided for the unoriented bordism group. For the oriented bordism groups, a nearly complete computation is provided as well a discussion of the difficulty of resolving a remaining ambiguity in dimensions equivalent to 2 mod 4. Recall...
متن کاملK-Witt bordism in characteristic 2
This note provides a computation of the bordism groups of K-Witt spaces for fields K with characteristic 2. We provide a complete computation for the unoriented bordism groups. For the oriented bordism groups, a nearly complete computation is provided as well a discussion of the difficulty of resolving a remaining ambiguity in dimensions equivalent to 2 mod 4. This corrects an error in the char...
متن کاملWitt groups of sheaves on topological spaces
This paper investigates the Witt groups of triangulated categories of sheaves (of modules over a ring R in which 2 is invertible) equipped with Poincare-Verdier duality. We consider two main cases, that of perfect complexes of sheaves on locally compact Hausdorff spaces and that of cohomologically constructible complexes of sheaves on polyhedra. We show that the Witt groups of the latter form a...
متن کاملStratified and unstratified bordism of pseudomanifolds
We study bordism groups and bordism homology theories based on pseudomanifolds and stratified pseudomanifolds. The main seam of the paper demonstrates that when we uses classes of spaces determined by local link properties, the stratified and unstratified bordism theories are identical; this includes the known examples of pseudomanifold bordism theories, such as bordism of Witt spaces and IP sp...
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...
