Abstract

An element x of a central simple algebra is called p-central if x is central or x^p is central but x^p’ is not for any 1≤p′<p. p-central elements play an important role in the structure and presentations of central simple algebras. In this talk we discuss abelian crossed products (to be defined), their p-central subspaces, and present some open problems in regarding them.
