GALOIS CORRESPONDENCES FOR PARTIAL GALOIS AZUMAYA EXTENSIONS

Abstract

Let α be a partial action, having globalization, of a finite group G on a unital ring R. Let Rα denote the subring of the α-invariant elements of R and CR(Rα) the centralizer of Rα in R. In this paper we will show that there are one-to-one correspondences among sets of suitable separable subalgebras of R, Rα and CR(Rα). In particular, we extend to the setting of partial group actions similar results due to DeMeyer [Some notes on the general Galois theory of rings, Osaka J. Math.2 (1965) 117–127], and Alfaro and Szeto [On Galois extensions of an Azumaya algebra, Commun. Algebra25 (1997) 1873–1882].
