Algebraic Topology 2026-01-19 v3

Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be a topological Azumaya algebra of degree mnmn with an orthogonal involution over a CW complex XX of dimension less than or equal to min{m,n}\min\{m,n\}. We give conditions for the positive integers mm and nn so that A\mathcal{A} can be decomposed as the tensor product of topological Azumaya algebras of degrees mm and nn with orthogonal involutions.
