On function fields of curves over higher local fields and their division LFD-algebras (2507.04863v1)

Abstract: Let $K {m}$ be an $m$-local field with an $m$-th residue field $K _{0}$, for some integer $m > 0$, and let $K/K _{m}$ be a field extension of transcendence degree trd$(K/K _{m}) \le 1$. This paper shows that if $K _{0}$ is a field of finite Diophantine dimension (for example, a finitely-generated extension of a finite or a pseudo-algebraically closed perfect field $E$), then the absolute Brauer $p$-dimension abrd${p}(K)$ of $K$ is finite, for every prime number $p$. Thus it turns out that if $R$ is an associative locally finite-dimensional (abbr., LFD) central division $K$-algebra, then it is a normally locally finite algebra over $K$, that is, every nonempty finite subset $Y$ of $R$ is contained in a finite-dimensional central $K$-subalgebra $\mathcal{R}_{Y}$ of $R$.
