Given an F-central simple algebra A = Mn(D), denote by A′ the derived group of its unit group A*. Here, the Frattini subgroup Φ(A*) of A* for various fields F is investigated. For global fields, it is proved that when F is a real global field, then Φ(A*) = Φ(F*)Z(A′), otherwise Φ(A*) = ⋂p∤ deg (A) F*p. Furthermore, it is also shown that Φ(A*) = k* whenever F is either a field of rational functions over a divisible field k or a finitely generated extension of an algebraically closed field k.

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.

Let K be a field and (K) the Brauer group of K. It consists of the similarity classes of finite central simple algebras over K. For any field extension F/K there is a natural mapping (K) → (F) which is obtained by assigning to each central simple algebra A/K the tensor product which is a central simple algebra over F. The kernel of this map is the relative Brauer group (F/K), consisting of those A ∈(K) which are split by F.

Global Principle

Let [Formula: see text] be a central simple algebra of degree [Formula: see text] over a number field [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] be a strictly maximal subfield. We say that the ring of integers [Formula: see text] is selective if there exists an isomorphism class of maximal orders in [Formula: see text] no element of which contains [Formula: see text]. In the present work, we consider a local variant of the selectivity problem and applications. We first prove a theorem characterizing which maximal orders in a local central simple algebra contain the global ring of integers [Formula: see text] by leveraging the theory of affine buildings for [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is a local central division algebra. Then as an application, we use the local result and a local–global principle to show how to compute a set of representatives of the isomorphism classes of maximal orders in [Formula: see text], and distinguish those which are guaranteed to contain [Formula: see text]. Having such a set of representatives allows both algebraic and geometric applications. As an algebraic application, we recover a global selectivity result, and give examples which clarify the interesting role of partial ramification in the algebra.

Abstract Let D be a central simple algebra of prime degree over a field and let E be an {\operatorname{\mathbf{SL}}_{1}(D)} -torsor. We determine the complete motivic decomposition of certain compactifications of E. We also compute the Chow ring of E.

A totally singular quadratic form is associated to any central simple algebra with orthogonal involution in characteristic two. It is shown that the given involution is isotropic if and only if its corresponding quadratic form is isotropic.
