After replacing a class by a nonsingular representative, let $A$ represent a Seifert form over a field $F$ of characteristic different from two. SetA direct calculation gives $T^{T}QT=Q$, so $(F^{2g},Q,T)$ is an isometric structure. A metabolizer for $A$ corresponds to a $T$-invariant metabolizer for $Q$, and stabilization gives the canonical homomorphismConversely, for an isometric structure with $I+T$ invertible, defineThen $A+A^T=Q$ and $A^{-1}{A}^T=T$. These constructions respect orthogonal sums and metabolic structures and are inverse on Witt classes, proving ${\mathcal{A}\mathcal{C}}_F\cong {\mathcal{W}}_F$.

For an irreducible symmetric Laurent polynomial $\delta$, the primary component of an isometric structure isfor large $N$. The primary decomposition is orthogonal, so restriction of $Q$ and $T$ to $V_{\delta }$ defines the projection

Now take $F=\mathbb{R}$ and let $\delta$ have roots $\omega ,\overline{\omega }$ on the unit circle, with $\omega =e^{i\theta }$ in the upper half-plane. The isomorphism ${\mathcal{W}}_{\mathbb{R}}^{\delta }\cong 2\mathbb{Z}$ sends a class to the even signature jumpFor the class of a knot, this is precisely the jump of its Levine-Tristram signature at the root $\omega$; reversing the choice of side changes the overall sign convention.
