Abstract

When L∕F is a tame extension of Henselian fields (i.e. char(F) ∤ [L : F]), we analyze the underlying division algebra ^cD of the corestriction cor_L∕F(D) of a tame division algebra D over L with respect to the unique valuations of ^cD and D extending the valuations on F and L. We show that the value group of ^cD lies in the value group of D and for the center of residue division algebra, Z(^cD) ⊆𝒩(Z(D)∕F)^1∕k, where 𝒩(Z(D)∕F) is the normal closure of Z(D) over F and k is an integer depending on which roots of unity lie in F and L.
