Maximal prepositive cones on quaternion algebras with involution

Rings and Algebras 2026-05-21 v3

Abstract

We give a description of prepositive cones -- a notion of ordering on algebras with involution introduced by Astier and Unger -- in the specific context of quaternion algebras with involution. Our main result establishes that, for a broad class of quaternion algebras with involution, every prepositive cone is maximal.
