We make here available two older preprints on the K-cohomology
of quadrics which play some role in the recent work of V. Voevodsky.
The preprint "On the spinornorm and A_0(X,K_1) for quadrics"
(spinor.ps) from 1988 considers the group A_0(X,K_1)
(which is the same thing as the K-cohomology group
H^d(X,K_{d+1}), as well as the motivic cohomology group
H^{2d+1}(X,Z(d+1)), with d=dimX) for quadrics X.
It is shown that this group is always a quotient
of the special Clifford group CL of the corresponding
quadratic form.
Meanwhile there is a precise result about the kernel of
this map by A. S. Merkurjev
and V. I. Chernousov: A_0(X,K_1) is the quotient of CL
by the R-trivial elements in Spin.
Moreover we show that the norm map from A_0(X,K_1) to F^*
is injective for certain quadrics including Pfister quadrics.
This result is one of the inputs in Voevodsky's announced
proof of the Bloch-Kato conjecture for p=2.
The preprint "Some new results on the Chowgroups of quadrics" (included here
as chowqudr.dvi) from 1990 contains a brief description of the Chow motive
corresponding to Pfister forms and their K-cohomology groups H^p(X,K_{p+i})
for i=0,1,2.
Some other preprints on the K-cohomology of quadrics can be found
here.
