Corestriction of Galois algebras (Q1180650)

The author studies the corestriction map of \textit{C. Riehm} (introduced in Invent. Math. 11, 73--98 (1970; Zbl 0199.34904)]). This map \(\hbox{Cor}_{L/K}: \text{Br}(L)\to \text{Br}(K)\), which maps the Brauer group of \(L\) to that of \(K\) for \(L/K\) finite separable, is given in a purely algebra- theoretic manner by assigning to every \(L\)-algebra \(A\), a \(K\)-algebra \(\text{Cor}_{L/K}(A)\) in a functorial manner. The author studies Riehm's mapping for algebras carrying a Galois structure with respect to a finite dimensional Hopf algebra (a so-called Galois algebra introduced by \textit{S. U. Chase} and \textit{M. E. Sweedler} for commutative algebras [Hopf algebras and Galois theory (Lect. Notes Math. 97, 1969; Zbl 0197.01403)]). First the author deals with the behavior of Galois algebras under change of the Hopf algebra, then studies the corestriction of such algebras. This work constitutes part of the author's thesis at Universität München (1989; Zbl 0731.16028).
