Split Milnor-Witt Motives and its Applications to Fiber Bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2022-10-31 v5 K-Theory and Homology

Abstract

We study the Milnor-Witt motives which are a finite direct sum of Z(q)[p]\mathbb{Z}(q)[p] and Z/η(q)[p]\mathbb{Z}/\eta(q)[p]. We show that for MW-motives of this type, we could determine an MW-motivic cohomology class in terms of a motivic cohomology class and a Witt cohomology class. We define the motivic Bockstein cohomology and show that it corresponds to subgroup of Witt cohomology, if the MW-motive splits as above. As an application, we give the splitting formula of Milnor-Witt motives of Grassmannian bundles and complete flag bundles. This in particular shows that the integral cohomology of real complete flags has only 2-torsions.
