Abstract:

In this paper we give the étale local classification of Schelter-Procesi smooth orders in central simple algebras. In particular, we prove that if $\Delta$ is a central simple $K$-algebra of dimension $n^2$, where $K$is a field of trancendence degree $d$, then there are only finitely many étale local classes of smooth orders in $\Delta$. This result is a non-commutative generalization of the fact that a smooth variety is analytically a manifold, and so has only one type of étale local behaviour.
