Periodicity of Clifford algebras and exact octagons of Witt groups
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
Exact octagons, i.e. circular eight-term exact sequences, have cropped up recently in a few places in the literature. Papers of the author [11], and implicitly [10], the book of M. Warshauer[14], and the notes [5], all contain exact octagons. The first three references involve octagons of Witt groups of quadratic and other kinds of forms, the last reference extending the octagons to the setting of L-groups, i.e. surgery obstruction groups.
