Ela General Polynomials over Division Algebras and Left Eigenvalues

General polynomials over division algebras and left eigenvalues

In this paper, we present an isomorphism between the ring of general polynomials over a division algebra D with center F and the group ring of the free monoid with [D : F ] variables over D. Using this isomorphism, we define the characteristic polynomial of any matrix over any division algebra, i.e., a general polynomial with one variable over the algebra whose roots are precisely the left eige...

Triangulaizability of Algebras Over Division Rings

On nest modules of matrices over division rings

Let $ m , n in mathbb{N}$, $D$ be a division ring, and $M_{m times n}(D)$ denote the bimodule of all $m times n$ matrices with entries from $D$. First, we characterize one-sided submodules of $M_{m times n}(D)$ in terms of left row reduced echelon or right column reduced echelon matrices with entries from $D$. Next, we introduce the notion of a nest module of matrices with entries from $D$. We ...

A polynomial f(t) in an Ore extension K[t;S,D] over a division ring K is a Wedderburn polynomial if f(t) is monic and is the minimal polynomial of an algebraic subset of K. These polynomials have been studied in [LL5]. In this paper, we continue this study and give some applications to triangulation, diagonalization and eigenvalues of matrices over a division ring in the general setting of (S,D...

Some algorithms for skew polynomials over finite fields

In this paper, we study the arithmetics of skew polynomial rings over finite fields, mostly from an algorithmic point of view. We give various algorithms for fast multiplication, division and extended Euclidean division. We give a precise description of quotients of skew polynomial rings by a left principal ideal, using results relating skew polynomial rings to Azumaya algebras. We use this des...
