Abstract

The Witt ring of a complex flag variety describes the interesting – i.e. torsion – part of its topological KO-theory. We show that for a large class of flag varieties, these Witt rings are exterior algebras, and that the degrees of the generators can be determined by Dynkin diagram combinatorics. Besides a few well-studied examples such as full flag varieties and projective spaces, this class includes many flag varieties whose Witt rings were previously unknown, including many flag varieties of exceptional types. In particular, it includes all flag varieties of types G 2 G_2 and F 4 F_4 . The results also extend to flag varieties over other algebraically closed fields.

许多旗状变体的维特环是外部代数

复旗变的维特环描述了其拓扑 KO 理论中有趣的部分，即扭转。我们的研究表明，对于一大类旗变体，这些维特环是外部代数，而生成器的度数可以通过Dynkin图组合学来确定。除了全旗变和投影空间等少数几个研究得很透彻的例子之外，这一类还包括许多以前不知道其维特环的旗变，包括许多特殊类型的旗变。特别是，它包括类型为 G 2 G_2 和 F 4 F_4 的所有旗变。这些结果还可以推广到其他代数闭域上的旗形变量。

期刊介绍： All articles submitted to this journal are peer-reviewed. The AMS has a single blind peer-review process in which the reviewers know who the authors of the manuscript are, but the authors do not have access to the information on who the peer reviewers are. This journal is devoted to research articles in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. To be published in the Transactions, a paper must be correct, new, and significant. Further, it must be well written and of interest to a substantial number of mathematicians. Piecemeal results, such as an inconclusive step toward an unproved major theorem or a minor variation on a known result, are in general not acceptable for publication. Papers of less than 15 printed pages that meet the above criteria should be submitted to the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. Published pages are the same size as those generated in the style files provided for AMS-LaTeX.
