dc.description.abstractThe Brauer group of H-dimodule algebras, BD(R, H), consists of equivalence classes of H-Azumaya algebras; where H is a Hopf algebra over a commutative ring R, and an H-dimodule algebra A is defined to be H-Azumaya if certain maps (analogous to the usual map A (CRTIMES) A (--->) End(A)) are isomorphisms. It is shown that if R is a separably closed field of characteristic p and H is a truncated power series Hopf algebra then a necessary and sufficient condition for an H-Azumaya algebra A to be R-Azumaya (the usual Azumaya R-algebra) is that it be semisimple. An example is given to show that semisimplicity is necessary for this to be true.en_US
dc.description.abstractBD(, 0)(R, H) is the subset of BD(R, H) consisting of only those H-Azumaya algebras that are already R-Azumaya. If each element {A} in BD(, 0)(R, H) has the property that A (TURNEQ) End(V) as an H-module algebra for some finitely generated projective H-module V, then BD(, 0)(R, H) is a subgroup of BD(R, H). For the truncated power series Hopf algebra (alpha)(, p) = k{x}/(x('p)), with x primitive, BD(, 0)(R, (alpha)(, p)) = R* when R is a perfect field of characteristic p and has trivial Brauer group.en_US
