Notes on Milnor-Witt K-theory

Abstract: These notes are devoted to the foundations of Milnor-Witt K-theory of fields of arbitrary characteristic and without any perfectness assumptions. Extending the fundamental work of Morel, we establish all its functorial properties as stated in Feld's theory of Milnor-Witt modules, with a special attention about twists. The main new result is a computation of transfers in the general (in particular inseparable) case in terms of Grothendieck (differential) trace maps. These notes are used as the foundation for an expository work on Chow-Witt groups. They are built upon a series of talks given at the Spring School ``Invariants in Algebraic Geometry'', organized by Daniele Faenzi, Adrien Dubouloz and Ronan Terpereau.
