THE INDEX OF THE CORESTRICTION OF A VALUED DIVISION ALGEBRA

  • Published : 1997.05.01

Abstract

Let L/F be a finite separable extension of Henselian valued fields with same residue fields $\overline{L} = \overline{F}$. Let D be an inertially split division algebra over L, and let $^cD$ be the underlying division algebra of the corestriction $cor_{L/F} (D)$ of D. We show that the index $ind(^cD) of ^cD$ divides $[Z(\overline{D}) : Z(\overline {^cD})] \cdot ind(D), where Z(\overline{D})$ is the center of the residue division ring $\overline{D}$.
