Realizing central division algebras

Richard Scott Pierce and Charles Irvin Vinsonhaler

Vol. 109 (1983), No. 1, 165–177
Abstract

Let D be a finite dimensional division algebra over the rational field. We consider the question: for which primes p is D isomorphic to the quasi-endomorphism algebra of a p-local torsion free abelian group G whose rank is equal to the dimension of D? We show that D can be realized in this way for exactly those primes p such that Qp D is not a product of division algebras.
