Abstract

For A a central simple algebra of degree 2n , the n th exterior power algebra \lambda^n A is endowed with an involution which provides an interesting invariant of A . In the case where A is isomorphic to Q \otimes B for some quaternion algebra Q , we describe this involution quite explicitly in terms of the norm form for Q and the corresponding involution for B .
