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…
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 existence of finite dimensional central division algebras with no maximal subfield that is Galois over the center (called noncrossed products), was for a time the biggest open problem in the theory of division algebras, before it was…
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…
In this paper we introduce and study a twisted tensor product construction of nonlocal vertex algebras. Among the main results, we establish a universal property and give a characterization of a twisted tensor product. Furthermore, we give…
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 study some generalizations of the notion of regular crossed products K*G. For the case when K is an algebraically closed field, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the twisted group ring K*G to be an n-weakly regular ring, a…
Let $ L((T^{-1}))$ be the space of (inverse) Laurent serieswith coefficients in some field $L$. It has a standard degree map and the induced topology. With its usual addition and a new product on this space which is continuous and preserves…
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…
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 consider bicrossed products obtained by twisting compact semi-direct products by a suitable finite subgroup. Under some restriction, we give a practical criterion for the discrete dual of such bicrossed products to have the rapid decay…
New families of algebras and DG algebras with two simple modules are introduced and described. Using the twisted tensor product operation, we prove that such algebras have finite global dimension, and the resulting DG algebras are smooth.…
For a twisted partial action \Theta of a group G on an (associative non-necessarily unital) algebra A over a commutative unital ring k, the crossed product A X_\Theta G is proved to be associative. Given a G-graded k-algebra B =…
We prove a result concerning the inclusion of non-trivial invariant ideals inside non-trivial ideals of a twisted crossed product. We will also give results concerning the primeness and simplicity of crossed products of twisted actions of…
Starting with a spectral triple on a unital $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ with an action of a discrete group $G$, if the action is uniformly bounded (in a Lipschitz sense) a spectral triple on the reduced crossed product $C^{*}$-algebra $A\rtimes_{r}…
For a given twisted cartesian products of simplicial sets, we construct the corresponding twisted tensor product in the sense of Brown, with an explicit twisting function whose formula is simple without using inductions. This is done by…
A product system E over a semigroup P is a family of Hilbert spaces {E_s:s\in P} together with multiplications E_s \times E_t\to E_{st}. We view E as a unitary- valued cocycle on P, and consider twisted crossed products A \times_{\beta,E} P…
We introduce and study the definition, main properties and applications of iterated twisted tensor products of algebras, motivated by the problem of defining a suitable representative for the product of spaces in noncommutative geometry. We…
Motivated by some results in classical differential geometry, we give a constructive procedure for building up a connection over a (twisted) tensor product of two algebras, starting from connections defined on the factors. The curvature for…
Let X be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension and let h be a minimal homeomorphism of X. Let A be the associated crossed product C*-algebra. We show that A has tracial rank zero whenever the image of K_0 (A) in…
