The tensor-product embedding conjecture for algebraic central division algebras

Let KK be a field such that abrdp(K)<{\rm abrd}_{p}(K)<\infty for every pPp\in\mathbb P, and let RR be an algebraic central division KK-algebra. A KK-subalgebra R~\widetilde R of RR is required to satisfy the following properties:

Tensor-product embedding conjecture. The algebra R~\widetilde R is KK-isomorphic to

R~pPRp,\widetilde R\cong\bigotimes_{p\in\mathbb P}R_p,

where the tensor product is over KK and each Rpd(K)R_p\in d(K) is a KK-subalgebra of RR of pp-primary degree pk(p)p^{k(p)}; every KK-subalgebra Δ\Delta of RR that is locally finite-dimensional of at most countable dimension embeds in R~\widetilde R as a KK-subalgebra. In addition,

CR(R~)=K,C_R(\widetilde R)=K,

where CR(R~)={cR:cr~=r~c, r~R~}C_R(\widetilde R)=\{c\in R: c\widetilde r=\widetilde r c,\ \widetilde r\in\widetilde R\}, and for each pPp\in\mathbb P, k(p)k(p) is the maximal integer for which there exists ρpR\rho_p\in R such that pk(p)p^{k(p)} divides [K(ρp):K][K(\rho_p):K].

This conjecture concerns the structure of algebraic central division algebras over fields of finite absolute Brauer pp-dimensions. It would provide a single tensor-product subalgebra containing every locally finite-dimensional countable-dimensional subalgebra, together with a precise description of its pp-primary factors and centralizer; the supplied material gives no resolution status.
