A Gersten–Witt spectral sequence for regular schemes

TLDR
In this paper, a spectral sequence whose non-zero E 1 -terms are the Witt groups of the residue fields of a regular scheme X, arranged in Gersten-Witt complexes, was constructed.
Abstract
A spectral sequence is constructed whose non-zero E 1 -terms are the Witt groups of the residue fields of a regular scheme X , arranged in Gersten–Witt complexes, and whose limit is the four global Witt groups of  X . This has several immediate consequences concerning purity for Witt groups of low-dimensional schemes. We also obtain an easy proof of the Gersten Conjecture in dimension smaller than 5. The Witt groups of punctured spectra of regular local rings are also computed.

A cohomological classification of vector bundles on smooth affine threefolds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give a cohomological classification of vector bundles of rank 2 on a smooth affine over an algebraically closed field having characteristic unequal to 2, and deduce that cancellation holds for rank 2 vector bundles on such varieties.

TL;DR: In this article, a ring structure on the total Chow-Witt group of any integral smooth scheme over a field of characteristic different from 2 is defined, and the structure can be used to define a class of integral smooth schemes.
