报告内容：Hermitian K-theory has garnered attention for its applications in recent works. Roughly speaking, Hermitian K-theory can be thought of as a‘combination’of K-theory and Witt theory in view of the algebraic Bott sequence. Asok and Fasel utilized Hermitian K-theory as a tool to give a cohomological classification of vector bundles of rank 2 on a smooth affine threefold, and they also made progress on Murthy’s conjecture. Fasel and Srinivas showed that a vector bundle V of rank 3 over a smooth affine threefold splits off a trivial direct summand if and only if its Euler class e(V) in Hermitian K-theory is zero. In 2014, we showed that a numerical condition by Atiyah on Hurwitz’s 1898 problem can be generalized from the field of real numbers to any field by computing Hermitian K-theory of deleted quadrics. In this talk, I will talk about our recent developments in Hermitian K-theory, including Hermitian K-theory of Grassmannians. This is a joint work with Tao Huang.
