On a class of semihereditary crossed-product orders.

Abstract: Let

F

be a field, let

V

be a valuation ring of

F

of arbitrary Krull dimension (rank), let

K

be a finite Galois extension of

F

with group

G

, and let

S

be the integral closure of

V

in

K

. Let

f : G i m e s G m a p s t o K s e t m i n u s 0

be a normalized two-cocycle such that

f (G i m e s G) s u b s e t e q S s e t m i n u s 0

, but we do not require that

f

should take values in the group of multiplicative units of

S

. One can construct a crossed-product

V

-algebra

A_{f} = s u m_{s i g m a i n G} S x_{s i g m a}

in a natural way, which is a

V

-order in the crossed-product

F

-algebra

(K / F, G, f)

. If

V

is unramified and defectless in

K

, we show that

A_{f}

is semihereditary if and only if for all

s i g m a, a u i n G

and every maximal ideal

M

of

S

,

f (s i g m a, a u) o t i n M^{2}

. If in addition

J (V)

is not a principal ideal of

V

, then

A_{f}

is semihereditary if and only if it is an Azumaya algebra over

V

.
