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).

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.

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 I’ be a maximal order over a complete discrete rank one valuation ring R in a central simple algebra over the quotient field of R. The purpose of this paper is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for I’ to be equivalent to a crossed product over a tamely ramified extension of R.It is a classical result that every central simple algebra over a field k is equivalent to a crossed product over a Galois extension of k. Furthermore, it has been proved by Auslander and Goldman in [2] that every central separable algebra over a local ring is equivalent to a crossed product over an unramified extension.

We show that a non-hyperbolic quadratic pair on a central simple algebra Brauer equivalent to a quaternion algebra stays non-hyperbolic over some splitting field of the quaternion algebra. This extends a result previously only known for fields of characteristic different from two. Our presentation is free from restrictions on the characteristic of the base field.

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.

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.

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.
