Severi–Brauer variety

Index Severi–Brauer variety

In mathematics, a Severi–Brauer variety over a field K is an algebraic variety V which becomes isomorphic to a projective space over an algebraic closure of K. The varieties are associated to central simple algebras in such a way that the algebra splits over K if and only if the variety has a point rational over K.Jacobson (1996) p.113 studied these varieties, and they are also named after Richard Brauer because of their close relation to the Brauer group.

Central simple algebra

In ring theory and related areas of mathematics a central simple algebra (CSA) over a field K is a finite-dimensional associative algebra A, which is simple, and for which the center is exactly K. In other words, any simple algebra is a central simple algebra over its center.

Diophantine geometry

In mathematics, diophantine geometry is one approach to the theory of Diophantine equations, formulating questions about such equations in terms of algebraic geometry over a ground field K that is not algebraically closed, such as the field of rational numbers or a finite field, or more general commutative ring such as the integers.

Projective space

In mathematics, a projective space can be thought of as the set of lines through the origin of a vector space V. The cases when and are the real projective line and the real projective plane, respectively, where R denotes the field of real numbers, R2 denotes ordered pairs of real numbers, and R3 denotes ordered triplets of real numbers.

Quaternion algebra

In mathematics, a quaternion algebra over a field F is a central simple algebra A over F that has dimension 4 over F. Every quaternion algebra becomes the matrix algebra by extending scalars (equivalently, tensoring with a field extension), i.e. for a suitable field extension K of F, A \otimes_F K is isomorphic to the 2×2 matrix algebra over K. The notion of a quaternion algebra can be seen as a generalization of Hamilton's quaternions to an arbitrary base field.
