Abstract

Nonassociative differential extensions are generalizations of associative differential extensions, either of a purely inseparable field extension KK of exponent one of a field FF, FF of characteristic pp, or of a central division algebra over a purely inseparable field extension of FF. Associative differential extensions are well known central simple algebras first defined by Amitsur and Jacobson. We explicitly compute the automorphisms of nonassociative differential extensions. These are canonically obtained by restricting automorphisms of the differential polynomial ring used in the construction of the algebra. In particular, we obtain descriptions for the automorphisms of associative differential extensions of DD and KK, which are known to be inner.
