AbstractLet D be a finite-dimensional division algebra over its center and R = D[t;σ,δ] a skew polynomial ring. Under certain assumptions on δ and σ, the ring of central quotients D(t;σ,δ) = {f/g|f ∈ D[t;σ,δ],g ∈ C(D[t;σ,δ])} of D[t;σ,δ] is a central simple algebra with reduced norm N. We calculate the norm N(f) for some skew polynomials f ∈ R and investigate when and how the reducibility of N(f) reflects the reducibility of f.

This paper developed from, and complements, the paper by F. R. DeMeyer (see 6).In the first section of this paper we note a correspondence between projective modules of a central separable R-algebra A and the two-sided ideals of central separable algebras in the same class as A in the Brauer group of R. When R has the property that rank one projective A-modules are free, this correspondence yields a bijection between isomorphism types of indecomposable projective A-modules and the isomorphism types of algebras in the Brauer class of A which are the analogue of division algebra components in the field case. This bijection was remarked on without proof by DeMeyer in (6).Pursuing the ideas behind this correspondence, we consider the situation for a separable order A in a central simple algebra A over an algebraic number field, and obtain, by means of results involving the reduced norm, a generalization of DeMeyer's remark except when the division algebra component of A is a totally definite quaternion algebra (Theorem 3.3).

AbstractWe produce an isomorphism $E_{\infty }^{m,-m-1}\cong \text{Nrd}_{1}(A^{\otimes m})$ between terms of the $\text{K}$-theory coniveau spectral sequence of a Severi–Brauer variety $X$ associated with a central simple algebra $A$ and a reduced norm group, assuming $A$ has equal index and exponent over all finite extensions of its center and that $\text{SK}_{1}(A^{\otimes i})=1$ for all $i>0$.

Let $K$ be a (non-archimedean) local field and let $F$ be the function field of a curve over $K$. Let $D$ be a central simple algebra over $F$ of period $n$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in F^{\ast }$. We show that if $n$ is coprime to the characteristic of the residue field of $K$ and $D\cdot (\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})=0$ in $H^{3}(F,\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}_{n}^{\otimes 2})$, then $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ is a reduced norm from $D$. This leads to a Hasse principle for the group $\operatorname{SL}_{1}(D)$, namely, an element $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in F^{\ast }$ is a reduced norm from $D$ if and only if it is a reduced norm locally at all discrete valuations of $F$.

Let R be a prime ring with extended centroid C. We prove that an additive map from R into RC + C can be characterized in terms of left and right b-generalized derivations if it has a generalized derivation expansion. As a consequence, a generalization of the Noether–Skolem theorem is proved among other things: A linear map from a finite-dimensional central simple algebra into itself is an elementary operator if it has a generalized derivation expansion.

Abstract Let S be a domain and R = S[t; σ, δ] a skew polynomial ring, where σ is an injective endomorphism of S and δ a left σ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials f ∈ R of degree less or equal to four to be irreducible. We apply them to low degree polynomials in quantized Weyl algebras and the quantum planes. We also consider f(t) = tm − a ∈ R.

Given a finite dimensional F-central simple algebra A = Mn(D), the connection between the Frattini subgroup Φ(A*) and Φ(F*) via Z(A'), the center of the derived group of A*, is investigated. Setting G = F* ∩ Φ(A*), it is shown that [Formula: see text] where the intersection is taken over primes p not dividing the degree of A. Furthermore, when F is a local or global field, the group G is completely determined. Using the above connection, Φ(A*) is also calculated for some particular division rings D.

AbstractLet D be a unital associative division ring and D[t, σ, δ] be a skew polynomial ring, where σ is an endomorphism of D and δ a left σ-derivation. For each f ϵ D[t, σ, δ] of degree m > 1 with a unit as leading coefficient, there exists a unital nonassociative algebra whose behaviour reflects the properties of f. These algebras yield canonical examples of right division algebras when f is irreducible. The structure of their right nucleus depends on the choice of f. In the classical literature, this nucleus appears as the eigenspace of f and is used to investigate the irreducible factors of f. We give necessary and sufficient criteria for skew polynomials of low degree to be irreducible. These yield examples of new division algebras Sf.
