Basic properties of Azumaya algebras

In this file we prove basic facts about Azumaya algebras such as R is an Azumaya algebra over itself where R is a commutative ring.

Main Results

• IsAzumaya.id: R is an Azumaya algebra over itself.

• IsAzumaya.ofAlgEquiv: If A is an Azumaya algebra over R and A is isomorphic to B as an R-algebra, then B is an Azumaya algebra over R.
