Abstract

In an unpublished work of Fasel-Rao-Swan the notion of the relative Witt group WE(R,I)W_E(R,I) is defined. In this article we will give the details of this construction. Then we studied the injectivity of the relative Vaserstein symbol VR,I:Um3(R,I)/E3(R,I)WE(R,I)V_{R,I}: Um_3(R,I)/E_3(R,I)\rightarrow W_E(R,I). We established injectivity of this symbol if RR is an affine non-singular algebra of dimension 33 over a perfect C1C_1-field and II is a local complete intersection ideal of RR. It is believed that for a 33-dimensional affine algebra non-singularity is not necessary for establishing injectivity of the Vaserstein symbol . At the end of the article we will give an example of a singular 33-dimensional algebra over a perfect C1C_1-field for which the Vaserstein symbol is injective.
