obtain algorithmically effective versions of the dense lattice sphere packings constructed from orders in Q-division rings by the first author. The lattices in question are lifts of suitable codes from prime characteristic to orders O in Q-division rings a ...
This thesis is concerned with the algebraic theory of hermitian forms. It is organized in two parts. The first, consisting of the first two chapters, deals with some descent properties of unimodular hermitian forms over central simple algebras with involut ...
Let K be a field with char(K) ≠ 2. The Witt-Grothendieck ring (K) and the Witt ring W (K) of K are both quotients of the group ring ℤ[𝓖(K)], where 𝓖(K) := K*/(K*)2 is the square class group of K. Since ℤ[𝓖(K)] is integra ...
The notion of Euclidean minimum of a number field is a classical one. In this paper we generalize it to central division algebras and establish some general results in this new context. ...
This work concerns the study of Euclidean minima of maximal orders in central simple algebras. In the first part, we define the concept of ideal lattice in the non-commutative case. Let A be a semi-simple algebra over Q. An ideal lattice over A is a triple ...
