ON WEDDERBURN’S THEOREM ABOUT FINITE DIVISION ALGEBRAS
Karen Hunger Parshall, Julia Mutschler · 2003
Wedderburn’s first proof of his theorem on finite division algebras contains a gap. We analyse the gap, give a variant of Wedderburn’s proof that goes completely without the gap-producing statement, and we show how to fill the gap in a way Wedderburn could probably have done it.
