Trace forms of symbol algebras

Time: 3:00PM
Date: Wed 23rd September 2009
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: Let S be a symbol algebra. The trace form of S is computed and it is shown how this quadratic form can be used to determine whether S is a division algebra or not.
