Federico Scavia and I recently showed that the answer is 'no ' in general. I plan to cover some background material on central simple a lgebras\, motivate the question\, and explain the strategy of our proof.\n \nLocation: UQAM PK-5675\n DTSTART:20251022T170000Z DTEND:20251022T180000Z SUMMARY:Zinovy Reichstein (UBC) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/zinovy-reichstein-ubc-368 446 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
