Divided powers in the Witt ring of symmetric bilinear forms
From MaRDI portal
Publication:6156900
Abstract: The Witt ring of quadratic forms over a field has divided power operations. On the other hand, it follows from Garibaldi-Merkurjev-Serre's work on cohomological invariants that all operations on the Witt ring are linear combinations of exterior powers. We find the explicit formula for the divided powers as a linear combination of exterior powers. The coefficients involve the ``tangent numbers, related to Bernoulli numbers. The divided powers on the Witt ring give another construction of the divided powers on Milnor K-theory modulo 2.
