Using triality, we define a relative Arason invariant for orthogonal involutions on a -possibly division- central simple algebra of degree 8. This invariant detects hyperbolicity, but it does not detect isomorphism. We produce explicit examples, in index 4 and 8, of nonisomorphic involutions with trivial relative Arason invariant.

We show localization, excision and descent theorems for K -theory of Deligne-Mumford stacks. Our approach employs the Nisnevich site which is a complete, regular and bounded cd -structure on the category of such stacks and restricts to the usual Nisnevich site on schemes. By combining excision with a refinement of localization sequences due to Krishna and Toen, we show that K -theory of perfect complexes on tame Deligne-Mumford stacks satisfies Nisnevich descent.

Starting from the Karoubi multiplicative K -theory, we construct a Chern-Weil theory adapted to isolated conical singularities. The Chern character takes its values in the intersection cohomology of Goresky-MacPherson. We also propose an integer intersection K -theory for such singularities.

We show that the functor from curved differential graded algebras to differential graded categories, defined by the second author in [B], sends Cartesian diagrams to homotopy Cartesian diagrams, under certain reasonable hypotheses. This is an extension to the arena of dg categories of a construction of projective modules due to Milnor. As an example, we show that the functor satisfies descent for certain partitions of a complex manifold.

This paper examines the relation between the Euler class group of a Noetherian ring and the Euler class group of its polynomial extension. When the ring is a smooth affine domain, the two groups are canonically isomorphic. This is a consequence of a theorem of Bhatwadekar-Sridharan, which they proved in order to answer a question of Nori on sections of projective modules over such rings. If the smoothness assumption is removed, the result of Bhatwadekar-Sridharan is no longer valid and also the Euler class groups above are not in general isomorphic. In this paper we investigate a variant of Nori's question for arbitrary Noetherian rings and derive several consequences to understand the relation between various groups in the theory of Euler classes.

Let S be a degree six del Pezzo surface over an arbitrary field F. Motivated by the first author's classification of all such S up to isomorphism (3) in terms of a separable F-algebra B×Q×F, and by his K-theory isomorphism Kn(S) � Kn(B × Q × F) for n � 0, we prove an equivalence of derived categories D b (cohS) � D b (modA) where A is an explicitly given finite dimensional F-algebra whose semisimple part is B × Q × F.

We prove that the homology of unitary groups over rings of S-integers in number fields stabilizes. Results of this kind are well known to follow from the high acyclicity of ad-hoc polyhedra. Given this, we exhibit two simple conditions on the arithmetic of hermitian forms over a ring A relatively to an antiautomorphism which, if they are satisfied, imply the stabilization of the homology of the corresponding unitary groups. When R is a ring of S-integers in a number field K, and A is a maximal R-order in an associative composition algebra F over K, we use the strong approximation theorem to show that both of these properties are satisfied. Finally we take a closer look at the case of On(Z[ 1 2 ]).

We decompose θ(M), the twisted index obstruction to a positive scalar curvature metric for closed oriented manifolds with spin universal cover, into a pairing of a twisted K-homology with a twisted K-theory class and prove that θ(M) does not vanish if M is a closed orientable enlargeable manifold with spin universal cover.
