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.
