Motivic rigidity of Severi-Brauer varieties (Q2377423)

Let \(D\) be a central division algebra over a field \(F\). The author studies the rigidity of the motivic decompositions of the Severi-Brauer varieties of \(D\), with respect to the ring of coefficients and to the base field \(F\), where \(D\) is a central division algebra over \(F\). He first shows that if the ring of coefficients is a field, these decompositions only depend on its characteristic. In the second part, the author shows that if \(D\) remains division over a field extension \(E/F\), the motivic decompositions of several Severi-Brauer varieties of \(D\) remain the same when extending the scalars to \(E\).
