Stable structure and cancellation of quadratic spaces over Laurent extensions of rings of dimension one (Q1069996)

Let R be a reduced one-dimensional Noetherian ring with finite integral closure \(\bar R\) and conductor C. Assume further that 2 is invertible in R. In this paper it is shown that there is an exact sequence of Witt groups \(0\to K\to W(R)\oplus W(R)\to W(R[T,T^{-1}])\to 0\) where T is an indeterminate and \(K\) is the kernel of the canonical map W(R)\(\to W(\bar R)\oplus W(R/C)\) of R. It is also shown that if R is as above then each quadratic space q over \(R[T,T^{-1}]\) with Witt index \(\geq 2\) is cancellative.
