Abstract

Let B be a ring with 1,C the center of B,G an automorphism group of B of order n for some integer n,CG the set of elements in C fixed under G,Δ=Δ(B,G,f) a crossed product over B where f is a factor set from G×G to U(CG). It is shown that Δ is an H-separable extension of B and VΔ(B) is a commutative subring of Δ if and only if C is a Galois algebra over CG with Galois group G|CG.
