Let $K$ be a field and let $\sigma$ be an automorphism and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. Then we show that the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ contains a free non-cyclic…

A celebrated theorem of P.M.Cohn says that for any two division rings (not necessarily finite dimensional) over a field F, their amalgamated product over F is a domain which can be embedded in a division ring. Note that even with the two…

Let F be the function field of a curve over a p-adic field. Let D/F be a central division algebra of prime exponent $\ell$ which is different from p. Assume that F contains a primitive ${\ell}^2$-th root of unity. Then the group…

We show that any countable subgroup of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{R}_+^{\times}$ of positive real numbers can be realized as the fundamental group $\mathcal{F}(A)$ of a separable simple unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ with unique trace.…

In this article, we study the derivations of group algebras of some important groups, namely, dihedral ($D_{2n}$), Dicyclic ($T_{4n}$) and Semi-dihedral ($SD_{8n}$). First, we explicitly classify all inner derivations of a group algebra…

An associative division algebra D is said to be _affine_ over a central subfield k if D is finitely generated as a k-algebra. In 1956 Amitsur famously proved that, when k is uncountable, D cannot be k-affine unless D is algebraic over k. In…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…

We generalize Amitsur's construction of central simple algebras over a field $F$ which are split by field extensions possessing a derivation with field of constants $F$ to nonassociative algebras: for every central division algebra $D$ over…

A Wedderburn polynomial over a division ring K is a minimal polynomial of an algebraic subset of K. Special cases of such polynomials include, for instance, the minimal polynomials (over the center F=Z(K)) of elements of K that are…

Let $D$ be a division ring, $n$ a positive integer, and GL$_n(D)$ the general linear group of degree $n$ over $D$. In this paper, we study the induced subgraph of the intersection graph of GL$_n(D)$ generated by all non-trivial proper…

We give an example of a division ring $D$ whose multiplicative commutator subgroup does not generate $D$ as a vector space over its centre, thus disproving the conjecture posed in the paper "Vector space generated by the multiplicative…

We prove the finiteness of the genus of finite-dimensional division algebras over many infinitely generated fields. More precisely, let $K$ be a finite field extension of a field which is a purely transcendental extension of infinite…

The genus gen(D) of a finite-dimensional central division algebra D over a field F is defined as the collection of classes [D'] in the Brauer group Br(F), where D' is a central division F-algebra having the same maximal subfields as D. For…

Let K be an algebraic number field of degree d and discriminant D over Q. Let A be an associative algebra over K given by structure constants such that A is isomorphic to the algebra M_n(K) of n by n matrices over K for some positive…

A group of matrices $G$ with entries in a number field $K$ is defined to be numerical if $G$ has a finite index subgroup of matrices whose entries are algebraic integers. It is shown that an irreducible or completely reducible subgroup of…

We prove that the characteristic foliation $F$ on a non-singular divisor $D$ in an irreducible projective hyperkaehler manifold $X$ cannot be algebraic, unless the leaves of $F$ are rational curves or $X$ is a surface. More generally, we…

Let $p$ be a prime and $F$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$. Suppose that $FG$ is the group algebra of the finite $p$-group $G$ over the field $F$. Let $V(FG)$ denote the group of normalized units in $FG$ and let $V_*(FG)$ denote the…

We study the existence of free subalgebras in division algebras, and prove the following general result: if $A$ is a noetherian domain which is countably generated over an uncountable algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, then…

Let $k$ be an uncountable algebraically closed field and let $A$ be a countably generated left Noetherian $k$-algebra. Then we show that $A \otimes_k K$ is left Noetherian for any field extension $K$ of $k$. We conclude that all subfields…
