An analogue of Pfister's local-global principle in the burnside ring

Martin Epkenhans (1999)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let N / K be a Galois extension with Galois group 𝒢 . We study the set 𝒯 ( 𝒢 ) of -linear combinations of characters in the Burnside ring ( 𝒢 ) which give rise to -linear combinations of trace forms of subextensions of N / K which are trivial in the Witt ring W ( K ) of K . In particular, we prove that the torsion subgroup of ( 𝒢 ) / 𝒯 ( 𝒢 ) coincides with the kernel of the total signature homomorphism.

Around rationality of cycles

Raphaël Fino (2013)

Open Mathematics

We prove certain results comparing rationality of algebraic cycles over the function field of a quadric and over the base field. These results have already been obtained by Alexander Vishik in the case of characteristic 0, which allowed him to work with algebraic cobordism theory. Our proofs use the modulo 2 Steenrod operations in the Chow theory and work in any characteristic ≠ 2.
