Decomposition of Topological Azumaya Algebras

Algebraic Topology 2021-06-23 v4

Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be a topological Azumaya algebra of degree mnmn over a CW complex XX. We give conditions for the positive integers mm and nn, and the space XX so that A\mathcal{A} can be decomposed as the tensor product of topological Azumaya algebras of degrees mm and nn. Then we prove that if m<nm<n and the dimension of XX is higher than 2m+12m+1, A\mathcal{A} may not have such decomposition.
