Abstract

Let RR be a real smooth affine domain of dimension 33 such that RR has either no real maximal ideals or the intersection of all real maximal ideals in RR has height at least 11. Then we prove that all stably free RR-modules of rank 22 are free if and only if the Hermitian KK-theory group WSL(R)W_{SL}(R) is trivial.
