Project description
The main goal of this PhD project is research towards a generic splitting theory for algebras with involution. This hould clarify certain results and conjectures concering algebras with involution and indicate to what extent concepts of quadratic forms can be generalized to those algebras. Pfister involutions can play an important role, as well as the notion of Knebush degree.
