Abstract
For each natural number , we define a category whose objects are discriminant algebras in rank , i.e. functorial means of attaching to each rank- algebra a quadratic algebra with the same discriminant. We show that the discriminant algebras defined in [2], [6], and [10] are all isomorphic in this category, and prove furthermore that in ranks discriminant algebras are unique up to unique isomorphism.
