Abstract

In this paper we are going to compute the KW \mathrm{KW} -Euler classes for rank 2 vector bundles on the classifying stack BN \mathcal{B}N , where NN is the normaliser of the standard torus in SL2SL_2 and KW\mathrm{KW} represents Balmer's derived Witt groups. Using these computations we will recover, through a new and different strategy, the formulas previously obtained by Levine in Witt-sheaf cohomology. In order to obtain our results, we will prove K\"unneth formulas for products of GLnGL_n's and SLnSL_n's classifying spaces and we will develop from scratch the basic theory of twisted symplectic bundles with their associated twisted Borel classes in SLSL-oriented theories.
