The center of a simple algebra

Timothy V. Fossum

Vol. 50 (1974), No. 1, 43–45
Abstract

The following theorem is proved: Let A be a finite-dimensional simple K-algebra, K a field. If E is an extension of K and if M is an absolutely irreducible left A K E-module with character χ;AKE E, then χ(A) is a subfield of E which is K-isomorphic to the center of A.
