Summary |
The first comprehensive, modern introduction to the theory of central simple algebras over arbitrary fields. Assuming only a solid background in algebra, it reaches such advanced results as the Merkurjev-Suslin theorem. The book is a graduate textbook and a reference for researchers working in algebra, algebraic geometry or K-theory |
