Abstract

Let KK be a perfect field and let kKk \subset K be a subfield. In previous work of the second author and C. Pappacena, left finite dimensional simple two-sided kk-central vector spaces over KK were classified by arithmetic data associated to the extension K/kK/k. In this paper, we continue to study the relationship between simple two-sided vector spaces and their associated arithmetic data. In particular, we determine which arithmetic data corresponds to simple two-sided vector spaces with the same left and right dimension, and we determine the arithmetic data associated to the left and right dual of a simple two-sided vector space. As an immediate application, we prove the existence of the non-commutative symmetric algebra of any kk-central two-sided vector space over KK which has the same left and right dimension.
