Since Amitsur's discovery of noncrossed product division algebras more than 35 years ago, their existence over more familiar fields has been an object of investigation. Brussel's work was a culmination of this effort, exhibiting noncrossed…

The first examples of noncrossed product division algebras were given by Amitsur in 1972. His method is based on two basic steps: (1) If the universal division algebra $U(k,n)$ is a $G$-crossed product then every division algebra of degree…

We show that a finite-dimensional tame division algebra D over a Henselian field F has a maximal subfield Galois over F if and only if its residue division algebra has a maximal subfield Galois over the residue field of F. This generalizes…

Let D be a valued division algebra, finite-dimensional over its center F. Assume D has an unramified splitting field. The paper shows that if D contains a maximal subfield which is Galois over F (i.e. D is a crossed product) then the…

Let T be a complete discrete valuation ring and $\hat{X}$ a smooth projective curve over $S=\spec(T)$ with closed fibre $X$. Denote by $F$ the function field of $\hat{X}$ and by $\hat{F}$ the completion of $F$ with respect to the discrete…

In this paper we study the relationship between degeneracy and decomposability in abelian crossed products. In particular we construct an indecomposable abelian crossed product division algebra of exponent $p$ and index $p^2$ for $p$ an odd…

This paper began as an investigation of the question of whether $D_1 \otimes_F D_2$ is a domain where the $D_i$ are division algebras and $F$ is an algebraically closed field contained in their centers. We present an example where the…

A splitting field of a central simple algebra is said to be absolute Galois if it is Galois over some fixed subfield of the centre of the algebra. The paper provides an existence theorem for such fields over global fields with enough roots…

The striking results on noncrossed products were their existence (Amitsur) and the determination of Q(t) and Q((t)) as their smallest possible centres (Brussel). This paper gives the first fully explicit noncrossed product example over…

Let F be a Henselian valued field with char(F) = p and D a semi-ramified, "not strongly degenerate" p-algebra. We show that all Galois subfields of D are inertial. Using this as a tool we study generic abelian crossed product p-algebras,…

In this note we give a short and elementary proof for a part of Amitsur's noncrossed product theorem. Our approach does not rely on well-known results of valuation theory. Instead, we employ some preliminary properties of the unit groups of…

We prove the existence of noncrossed product and indecomposable division algebras over the function field of a smooth p-adic curve, especially when the curve does not admit a smooth model over Z_p. Thus we generalize arXiv 0907.0670. To…

Given a closed ideal I in a C*-algebra A, an ideal J (not necessarily closed) in I, a *-homomorphism \al:A --> M(I) and a map L:J --> A with some properties, based on [3] and [9] we define a C*-algebra O(A,\al,L) which we call the "Crossed…

An early result of algebraic quantum field theory is that the algebra of any subregion in a QFT is a von Neumann factor of type III$_1$, in which entropy cannot be well-defined because such algebras do not admit a trace or density states.…

It is well known that the cohomology of a tensor product is essentially the tensor product of the cohomologies. We look at twisted tensor products, and investigate to which extend this is still true. We give an explicit description of the…

We construct indecomposable and noncrossed product division algebras over function fields of smooth curves X over Z_p. This is done by defining an index preserving morphism s:Br(\hat K(X))' -> Br(K(X))' which splits res:Br(K(X)) -> Br(\hat…

In this note, we give a simple closed formula for an arbitrary product, landing in dimension 0, of boundary classes on the Deligne--Mumford moduli space M_0,n-bar. For any such boundary strata $X_{T_1}, \ldots, X_{T_\ell}$, we show the…

We first give a sufficient condition for a Mal'cev-Neumann ring of formal series to be a noncrossed product division algebra. This result is then used to give an elementary proof of the existence of noncrossed product division algebras (of…

We extend the classical construction by Noether of crossed product algebras, defined by finite Galois field extensions, to cover the case of separable (but not necessarily finite or normal) field extensions. This leads us naturally to…

We consider fiber products of complete, local, noetherian algebras over a fixed residue field. Some of these rings cannot be minimally resolved with a free resolution using the recent work of the second author. We develop techniques to…
