We give a survey of recent results related to the problem of characterizing finite-dimensional division algebras by the set of isomorphism classes of their maximal subfields. We also discuss various generalizations of this problem and some…

In this paper we provide an algorithm to compute the product between two elements in a symbol algebra of degree n and we find an octonion non-division algebra in a symbol algebra of degree three. Starting from this last idea, we try to find…

We want to bound the symbol length of classes in ${_{2^{m-1}}Br}(F)$ which are represented by tensor products of 5 or 6 cyclic algebras of degree $2^m$. The main ingredients are the chain lemma for quadratic forms, a form of a generalized…

Over a global field any finite number of central simple algebras of exponent dividing $m$ is split by a common cyclic field extension of degree $m$. We show that the same property holds for function fields of two-dimensional excellent…

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…

In this article the $p$-essential dimension of generic symbols over fields of characteristic $p$ is studied. In particular, the $p$-essential dimension of the length $\ell$ generic $p$-symbol of degree $n+1$ is bounded below by $n+\ell$…

We study the symbolic $F$-splitness of families of binomial edge ideals. We also study the strong $F$-regularity of the symbolic blowup algebras of families of binomial edge ideals. We make use of Fedder-like criteria and combinatorial…

The symbol length of ${_pBr}(k(\!(\alpha_1)\!)\dots(\!(\alpha_n)\!))$ for an algebraically closed field $k$ of $\operatorname{char}(k) \neq p$ is known to be $\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor$. We prove that the symbol length for the case of…

In this paper we study division algebras over the function fields of curves over $\Q_p$. The first and main tool is to view these fields as function fields over nonsingular $S$ which are projective of relative dimension 1 over the $p$ adic…

We use constructions of versal cohomology classes based on a new notion of "presentable functors," to describe a relationship between the problems of bounding symbol length in cohomology and of finding the minimal degree of a splitting…

In this note, we present a chain lemma for biquaternion algebras over fields of characteristic 2 in the style of the equivalent chain lemma by Sivatski in characteristic not 2, and conclude a bound on the symbol length of classes in…

The splitting field of a graph $\Gamma$ with respect to a square matrix $M$ associated with $\Gamma$, is the smallest field extension over the field of rationals $\mathbb{Q}$ that contains all the eigenvalues of $M$. The degree of the…

Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…

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…

Symbol-pair codes are proposed to protect against pair errors in symbol-pair read channels. One of the most important task in symbol-pair coding theory is to determine the minimum pair-distance of symbol-pair codes. In this paper, we…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$ with finitely many square classes. Using combinatorial arguments applied to objects related to vector spaces over finite fields, we deduce an upper bound for the number of Pfister forms over $F$.…

The splitting field $\mathbb{SF}(\Gamma)$ of a mixed graph $\Gamma$ is the smallest field extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ which contains all eigenvalues of the Hermitian adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. The extension degree…

In this paper, we obtain some properties of the symbol algebras, starting from their connections with the quaternion and cyclic algebras over a field $K_{p},$% where $K$ is an algebraic number field, $p$ is a prime in $K$ and $K_{p}$ is the…

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 $G$ be an algebraic group, $X$ a generically free $G$-variety, and $K=k(X)^G$. A field extension $L$ of $K$ is called a splitting field of $X$ if the image of the class of $X$ under the natural map $H^1(K, G) \mapsto H^1(L, G)$ is…
