Abstract

We compute the GW\mathbb{G}W-spectrum (Karoubi--Grothendieck--Witt spectrum) of Grassmannians over divisorial schemes defined over fields of characteristic zero, and, as a corollary, determine their stabilized L\mathbb{L}-theory spectrum. As part of our computation, we establish split fibration sequences in K\mathbb{K}-theory, GW\mathbb{G}W-theory and L\mathbb{L}-theory.
