Structure theory of central simple Zd-graded algebras

This paper investigates the structure theory of Zd-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 Zd-central simple graded algebras.
