Shifted Witt Groups of Semi-local Rings
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

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...
متن کاملWitt Cohomology, Mayer-vietoris, Homotopy Invariance and the Gersten Conjecture
We establish a Mayer-Vietoris long exact sequence for Witt groups of regular schemes. We also establish homotopy invariance for Witt groups of regular schemes. For this, we introduce Witt groups with supports using triangulated categories. Subsequently we use these results to prove the Gersten-Witt Conjecture for semi-local regular rings of geometric type over infinite fields of characteristic ...
متن کاملFrom Usual to Derived Witt Groups
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 be...
متن کاملA Gersten-witt Spectral Sequence for Regular Schemes
A spectral sequence is constructed whose nonzero E1-terms are the Witt groups of the residue fields of a regular scheme X, arranged in Gersten-Witt complexes, and whose limit is the four global Witt groups of X. There are several immediate consequences concerning purity for Witt groups of low-dimensional schemes. The Witt groups of punctured spectra of regular local rings are also computed. Let...
متن کاملFiniteness 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...
