Abstract
As already noted in Chap. 31 the high-dimensional knot cobordism groups C * can be expressed in terms of the L-theory of \({\Bbb Z}[s](\bar s = 1 - s)\). The є-symmetric L-theory of A[s] for any ring with involution A is now identified with the L-theory of almost є-symmetric forms over A, generalizing the work of Clauwens [51], and relating it to knot theory and automorphism L-theory.
