In algebra, a cyclic division algebra is one of the basic examples of a division algebra over a field and plays a key role in the theory of central simple algebras. == Definition == Let A be a finite-dimensional central simple algebra over a field F. Then A is said to be cyclic if it contains a strictly maximal subfield E such that E/F is a cyclic field extension (i.e., the Galois group is a cyclic group).
