Rings of low rank with a standard involution (1003.3512v2)

Published 18 Mar 2010 in math.NT and math.RA

Abstract: We consider the problem of classifying (possibly noncommutative) R-algebras of low rank over an arbitrary base ring R. We first classify algebras by their degree, and we relate the class of algebras of degree 2 to algebras with a standard involution. We then investigate a class of exceptional rings of degree 2 which occur in every rank n >= 1 and show that they essentially characterize all algebras of degree 2 and rank 3.
