Structure theory of central simple $Bbb{Z}_d$-graded algebras

Structure theory of central simple $Bbb{Z}_d$-graded algebras

This paper investigates the structure theory of $Bbb{Z}$d- central simple graded algebras and gives the complete decomposition into building block algebras. The results are also applied to generalized Clifford algebras, which are motivating examples of $Bbb{Z}$d-central simple graded algebras.
