Abstract

In this paper we are going to compute the

KW $ \mathrm {KW} $ upper K upper W
-Euler classes for rank 2 vector bundles on the classifying stack
B N $ \mathrm {B} \mathrm{N} $ normal upper B normal upper N
, where N is the normaliser of the standard torus in
SL 2 $\mathrm{SL}_2$ upper S upper L 2
and
KW $\mathrm {KW}$ upper K upper W
represents Balmer’s derived Witt groups. Using these computations we will recover, through a new and different strategy, the formulas previously obtained by Levine in Witt-sheaf cohomology. In order to obtain our results, we will prove Künneth formulas for products of
GL n $\mathrm{GL}_n$ upper G upper L Subscript n
’s and
SL n $\mathrm{SL}_n$ upper S upper L Subscript n
’s classifying spaces and we will develop from scratch the basic theory of twisted symplectic bundles with their associated twisted Borel classes in
SL $\mathrm{SL}$ upper S upper L
-oriented theories.
