Abstract

Let F0F_0 be the function field of a curve over a pp-adic field K,K, and let FF be a quadratic extension over F0F_0. Let AA be a central simple algebra over FF of period 2,2, and let τ\tau be a F/F0F/F_0-involution on AA. We show the triviality of the reduced unitary Whitehead group SK1U(A,τ)SK_1U( A, \tau) if p2p\neq 2.
