Grothendieck and Witt groups in the reduced theory of quadratic forms

Andrzej Sładek (1980)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Abstract. Let F be a formally real field. Denote by G(F) and G t ( F ) the Grothen-dieck group of quadratic forms over F and its torsion subgroup, respectively. In this paper we study the structure of the factor group G ( F ) / G t ( F ) . This reduced Grothendieck group is a free Abelian group. The main results of the paper describe some sets of generators for G ( F ) / G t ( F ) , which in many cases allow us to find a basis for the group. Throughout the paper we use the language of the reduced theory of quadratic forms. In the final part...
