Abstract

Let k be a field, K/k be a quadratic separable field extension, and 𝒜 a finite dimensional central simple algebra over K. If k is global or the field of fractions of a two-dimensional excellent henselian local domain with an algebraically closed residue field of characteristic zero and the degree of 𝒜 is odd, we prove that all K/k-involutions on 𝒜 are cyclic.
