Petit Algebras and their Automorphisms
Christian Brown
In this thesis, we study the properties of a nonassociative algebra construction from skew polynomial rings. This construction was introduced by Petit in the 1960s but largely igno…

How a nonassociative algebra reflects the properties of a skew polynomial
Christian Brown, Susanne Pumpluen
Let be a unital associative ring and be a skew polynomial ring, where is an injective endomorphism of and a left -derivation. For each …

Nonassociative cyclic extensions of fields and central simple algebras
Christian Brown, Susanne Pumpluen
We define nonassociative cyclic extensions of degree m of both fields and central simple algebras over fields. If a suitable field contains a primitive mth (resp., qth) root of uni…
