Talk:Azumaya algebra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am sorry I do not understand the definition: "... makes the tensor product isomorphic to the r×r matrix algebra over R." The tensor product of which objects? Secondly, a definition of Azumaya algebras over arbitrary commutative rings seems to be standard. Does anyone know a reference? Finally, what is the "reduced trace" in this context?

Okay, I found a textbook myself where everything is explained (Knus/Ojanguren, Springer Lecture Notes 389) Ninte 10:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
