On splitting polynomials with noncommutative coefficients

Quantum Algebra 2009-05-25 v3 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

It is shown that for every splitting of a polynomial with noncommutative coefficients into linear factors (Xak)(X-a_{k}) with aka_{k}'s commuting with coefficients, any cyclic permutation of linear factors gives the same result and all aka_{k} are roots of that polynomial. Examples are given and analyzed from Galois theory point of view.
