Amitsur's equal-degree conjecture for Brauer–Severi varieties
Amitsur's equal-degree conjecture for Brauer–Severi varieties
Let and be Brauer–Severi varieties, and let and be the corresponding central simple -algebras. Assume
Amitsur's conjecture. If and generate the same cyclic subgroup of , then and are birational.
This is the converse to the birationality implication proved by Amitsur: birational Brauer–Severi varieties have corresponding algebras generating the same subgroup of the Brauer group. The source does not specify whether the conjecture has been resolved in general.
