Abstract: | We prove the following general homotopy invariance theorem for coherent Witt groups: Let be a flat morphism of separated Gorenstein schemes of finite Krull dimension with affine fibers,i.e. π−1(y) is an affine space over the residue field k(y) for all yY, then the induced homomorphism of coherent Witt groups is an isomorphism. As an application we calculate the (classical) Witt group of the affine hyperbolic sphere over a regular local ring.
