Dans ce travail, nous étudions les groupes de Chow-Witt. Ces groupes ont été introduits par J. Barge et F. Morel dans le but de comprendre dans quelle situation un -module projectif de rang égal à la dimension de est isomorphe à un module projectif plus simple . Dans un premier temps, nous montrons que ces groupes satisfont à peu de choses près les propriétés fonctorielles des groupes de Chow classiques. Nous définissons ensuite pour tout -module localement libre de rang (constant) sur un schéma régulier de dimension une classe d’Euler qui est un raffinement de la classe de Chern maximale classique . Cette classe d’Euler satisfait elle aussi de bonnes propriétés fonctorielles. Nous obtenons en particulier que si est un projectif de rang sur un anneau régulier de dimension supérieure ou égale à tel que alors . Nous calculons dans un second temps les groupes de Chow-Witt maximaux d’un anneau régulier de dimension et d’une -algèbre régulière de dimension quelconque. Il découle immédiatement de ces calculs que si est un -module projectif de rang égal à la dimension de l’anneau on a si et seulement si . Finalement nous examinons les liens entre les groupes de Chow-Witt et les groupes des classes d’Euler introduits par S. Bhatwadekar et R. Sridharan.
In this work we study the Chow-Witt groups. These groups were defined by J. Barge et F. Morel in order to understand when a projective module of top rank over a ring has a free factor of rank one, i.e., is isomorphic to . We show first that these groups satisfy the same functorial properties as the classical Chow groups. Then we define for each locally free -module of (constant) rank over a regular scheme an Euler class which is a refinement of the usual top Chern class . The Euler classes satisfy also good fonctorial properties. In particular, we get if is a projective module of rank over a regular ring of dimension such that . Next we compute the top Chow-Witt group of a regular ring of dimension and the top Chow-Witt group of a regular -algebra of finite dimension. For such , we get that if is a projective module of rank equal to the dimension of the ring then if and only if . Finally, we examine the links between the Chow-Witt groups and the Euler class groups defined by S. Bhatwadekar and R. Sridharan.
