Essential Dimension of Central Simple Algebras when the Characteristic is Bad
Adam Chapman, Kelly McKinnie
This is a survey of the existing literature, the state of the art, and a few minor new results and open questions regarding the essential dimension of central simple algebras and f…
Cyclic Division Algebras of Odd Prime Degree are never Amitsur-Small
Adam Chapman, Ilan Levin, Marco Zaninelli
A division ring is Amitsur-Small if for every and every maximal left ideal in , is maximal in . Th…
The Cyclicity of Tensor Products of Cyclic -Algebras
Adam Chapman
We revisit the famous theorem of Albert's on the cyclicity of tensor products of cyclic -algebras. In the case of tensor products of cyclic -algebras of prime degree, we prov…
Loops with involution and the Cayley-Dickson doubling process
Adam Chapman, Ilan Levin, Uzi Vishne +1
We develop a theory of loops with involution. On this basis we define a Cayley-Dickson doubling on loops, and use it to investigate the lattice of varieties of loops with involutio…
