Abstract: Given a central division algebra $D$ of degree $d$ over a field $F$, we associate to any standard polynomial $phi(z)=z^n+c_{n-1}{z}^{n-1}+dots+c_0$ over $D$ a "companion polynomial" $Phi(z)$ of degree $nd$ with coefficients in $F$ whose roots are exactly the conjugacy classes of the roots of $phi(z)$. We explain how in case $D$ is a quaternion algebra, all the roots of $phi(z)$ can be recovered from the roots of $Phi(z)$. On the way, we also generalize certain theorems that were known for $mathbbH$ to any division algebra, such as the connection between the right eigenvalues of a matrix and the roots of its characteristic polynomial, and the connection between the roots of a standard polynomial and left eigenvalues of the companion matrix.
