Abstract:
For the Grothendieck group of a split simple linear algebraic group, the twisted gamma filtration provides a useful tool for constructing torsion elements in gamma-rings of twisted flag varieties. In this project, we construct a non-trivial torsion element in the gamma-ring of a complete flag variety twisted by means of a PGO-torsor. This generalizes the construction in the HSpin case previously obtained by Zainoulline.
