SK₁ of graded division algebras.

From MaRDI portal
Publication:636024



Abstract: The reduced Whitehead group SK of a graded division algebra graded by a torsion-free abelian group is studied. It is observed that the computations here are much more straightforward than in the non-graded setting. Bridges to the ungraded case are then established by the following two theorems: It is proved that SK of a tame valued division algebra over a henselian field coincides with SK of its associated graded division algebra. Furthermore, it is shown that SK of a graded division algebra is isomorphic to SK of its quotient division algebra. The first theorem gives the established formulas for the reduced Whitehead group of certain valued division algebras in a unified manner, whereas the latter theorem covers the stability of reduced Whitehead groups, and also describes SK for generic abelian crossed products.
