Projective Push-forwards in the Witt Theory of Algebraic Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
We define push-forwards along projective morphisms in the Witt theory of smooth quasi-projective varieties over a field. We prove that they have standard properties such as functoriality, compatibility with pull-backs and projection formulas.

Push-forwards in oriented cohomology theories of algebraic varieties: II
This preprint contains proofs of the results anounced in [PS] in the part concerning the construction of push-forwards for an oriented cohomology theory. It is constructed one-to-one correspondences between orientations, Chern structures, Thom structures and integrations on a given ring cohomology theory. The theory is illustrated by motivic cohomology, algebraic K-theory, algebraic cobordism t...

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 کاملChern Classes of Birational Varieties
Let φ : V 99K W be a birational map between smooth algebraic varieties which does not change the canonical class (in the sense of Batyrev, [Bat99]). We prove that the total homology Chern classes of V and W are push-forwards of the same class from a resolution of indeterminacies of φ. For example, it follows that the push-forward of the total Chern class of a crepant resolution of a singular va...
متن کاملAlgebraic Cocycles on Normal, Quasi-Projective Varieties
Blaine Lawson and the author introduced algebraic cocycles on complex algebraic varieties in [FL-1] and established a duality theorem relating spaces of algebraic cocycles and spaces of algebraic cycles in [FL-2]. This theorem has non-trivial (and perhaps surprising) applications in several contexts. In particular, duality enables computations of “algebraic mapping spaces” consisting of algebra...
