On the Dec group of finite abelian Galois extensions over global fields

Original · EN

If K/F is a finite abelian Galois extension of global fields whose Galois group has exponent t, we prove that there exists a short exact sequence that has as a consequence that if t is square free, then Dec(K/F)=Brₜ(K/F) which we use to show that prime exponent division algebras over Henselian valued fields with global residue fields are isomorphic to a tensor product of cyclic algebras. Finally, we construct a counterexample to the result for higher exponent division algebras.
