Abstract

Soit $N / K$ une extension galoisienne de groupe de Galois $𝒢$ . On étudie l’ensemble $𝒯 (𝒢)$ des combinaisons linéaires sur $ℤ$ de caractères de l’anneau de Burnside $ℬ (𝒢)$ , qui induisent des combinaisons $ℤ$ -linéaires des formes trace de sous-extensions de $N / K$ qui sont triviales dans l’anneau de Witt W $(K)$ de $K$ . On montre que le sous-groupe de torsion de $ℬ (𝒢) / 𝒯 (𝒢)$ est le noyau de l’homomorphisme signature.

Let $N / K$ be a Galois extension with Galois group $𝒢$ . We study the set $𝒯 (𝒢)$ of $ℤ$ -linear combinations of characters in the Burnside ring $ℬ (𝒢)$ which give rise to $ℤ$ -linear combinations of trace forms of subextensions of $N / K$ which are trivial in the Witt ring W $(K)$ of $K$ . In particular, we prove that the torsion subgroup of $ℬ (𝒢) / 𝒯 (𝒢)$ coincides with the kernel of the total signature homomorphism.
