Download or read book Value Functions on Simple Algebras and Associated Graded Rings written by Jean-Pierre Tignol and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is the first book-length treatment of valuation theory on finite-dimensional division algebras, a subject of active and substantial research over the last forty years. Its development was spurred in the last decades of the twentieth century by important advances such as Amitsur's construction of non crossed products and Platonov's solution of the Tannaka-Artin problem. This study is particularly timely because it approaches the subject from the perspective of associated graded structures. This new approach has been developed by the authors in the last few years and has significantly clarified the theory. Various constructions of division algebras are obtained as applications of the theory, such as noncrossed products and indecomposable algebras. In addition, the use of valuation theory in reduced Whitehead group calculations (after Hazrat and Wadsworth) and in essential dimension computations (after Baek and Merkurjev) is showcased. The intended audience consists of graduate students and research mathematicians.
Download or read book Noncommutative Curves of Genus Zero written by Dirk Kussin and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009-08-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these notes the author investigates noncommutative smooth projective curves of genus zero, also called exceptional curves. As a main result he shows that each such curve $\mathbb{X}$ admits, up to some weighting, a projective coordinate algebra which is a not necessarily commutative graded factorial domain $R$ in the sense of Chatters and Jordan. Moreover, there is a natural bijection between the points of $\mathbb{X}$ and the homogeneous prime ideals of height one in $R$, and these prime ideals are principal in a strong sense.
Download or read book The Book of Involutions written by Max-Albert Knus and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1998-06-30 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is an exposition of the theory of central simple algebras with involution, in relation to linear algebraic groups. It provides the algebra-theoretic foundations for much of the recent work on linear algebraic groups over arbitrary fields. Involutions are viewed as twisted forms of (hermitian) quadrics, leading to new developments on the model of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms. In addition to classical groups, phenomena related to triality are also discussed, as well as groups of type $F_4$ or $G_2$ arising from exceptional Jordan or composition algebras. Several results and notions appear here for the first time, notably the discriminant algebra of an algebra with unitary involution and the algebra-theoretic counterpart to linear groups of type $D_4$. This volume also contains a Bibliography and Index. Features: original material not in print elsewhere a comprehensive discussion of algebra-theoretic and group-theoretic aspects extensive notes that give historical perspective and a survey on the literature rational methods that allow possible generalization to more general base rings
Download or read book Central Simple Algebras and Galois Cohomology written by Philippe Gille and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive, modern introduction to the theory of central simple algebras over arbitrary fields, this book starts from the basics and reaches such advanced results as the Merkurjev–Suslin theorem, a culmination of work initiated by Brauer, Noether, Hasse and Albert, and the starting point of current research in motivic cohomology theory by Voevodsky, Suslin, Rost and others. Assuming only a solid background in algebra, the text covers the basic theory of central simple algebras, methods of Galois descent and Galois cohomology, Severi–Brauer varieties, and techniques in Milnor K-theory and K-cohomology, leading to a full proof of the Merkurjev–Suslin theorem and its application to the characterization of reduced norms. The final chapter rounds off the theory by presenting the results in positive characteristic, including the theorems of Bloch–Gabber–Kato and Izhboldin. This second edition has been carefully revised and updated, and contains important additional topics.
Download or read book Graded Rings and Graded Grothendieck Groups written by Roozbeh Hazrat and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of graded rings includes the first systematic account of the graded Grothendieck group, a powerful and crucial invariant in algebra which has recently been adopted to classify the Leavitt path algebras. The book begins with a concise introduction to the theory of graded rings and then focuses in more detail on Grothendieck groups, Morita theory, Picard groups and K-theory. The author extends known results in the ungraded case to the graded setting and gathers together important results which are currently scattered throughout the literature. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in ring theory.
Download or read book The Classical Groups and K Theory written by Alexander J. Hahn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a great satisfaction for a mathematician to witness the growth and expansion of a theory in which he has taken some part during its early years. When H. Weyl coined the words "classical groups", foremost in his mind were their connections with invariant theory, which his famous book helped to revive. Although his approach in that book was deliberately algebraic, his interest in these groups directly derived from his pioneering study of the special case in which the scalars are real or complex numbers, where for the first time he injected Topology into Lie theory. But ever since the definition of Lie groups, the analogy between simple classical groups over finite fields and simple classical groups over IR or C had been observed, even if the concept of "simplicity" was not quite the same in both cases. With the discovery of the exceptional simple complex Lie algebras by Killing and E. Cartan, it was natural to look for corresponding groups over finite fields, and already around 1900 this was done by Dickson for the exceptional Lie algebras G and E • However, a deep reason for this 2 6 parallelism was missing, and it is only Chevalley who, in 1955 and 1961, discovered that to each complex simple Lie algebra corresponds, by a uniform process, a group scheme (fj over the ring Z of integers, from which, for any field K, could be derived a group (fj(K).

Download or read book The Geometry of Algebraic Cycles written by Reza Akhtar and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of algebraic cycles has its roots in the study of divisors, extending as far back as the nineteenth century. Since then, and in particular in recent years, algebraic cycles have made a significant impact on many fields of mathematics, among them number theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. The present volume contains articles on all of the above aspects of algebraic cycles. It also contains a mixture of both research papers and expository articles, so that it would be of interest to both experts and beginners in the field.
