Embeddings of quotient division algebras of rings of differential operators

Abstract: Let

k

be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let

X

and

Y

be smooth irreducible algebraic curves over

k

, and let

D (X)

and

D (Y)

denote respectively the quotient division rings of the ring of differential operators of

X

and

Y

. We show that if there is a

k

-algebra embedding of

D (X)

into

D (Y)

then the genus of

X

must be less than or equal to the genus of

Y

, answering a question of the first-named author and Smoktunowicz.
