Characteristic polynomials of central simple algebras

Number Theory 2012-04-24 v2

Abstract

We characterize characteristic polynomials of elements in a central simple algebra. We also give an account for the theory of rational canonical forms for separable linear transformations over a central division algebra, and a description of separable conjugacy classes of the multiplicative group.
