Maximal orders separable over their centre
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a central simple $K$-algebra, where $K$ is an algebraic number field. It is known that $\mathcal{A}$ is separable over $K$ (following the definition of DeMeyer and Ingraham's book)...

The type number of an algebra
I've been reading On the existence of maximal orders, by C.F. Yu, in which he discusses maximal $R$-orders in semisimple algebras over a field $K$, where $R$ is a Noetherian integral domain and $K = \...

Reference request: correspondence between central simple algebras and quadratic forms
Let $A$ be an algebra over $k$, $\operatorname{tr_A}(x, y):=\operatorname{tr}(m_{xy})$ be a trace form on $A$, and $V_A$ be its restriction on the orthogonal complement to $1$. I wonder why a map $A \...
