In ring theory and related areas of mathematics a central simple algebra (CSA) over a field K is a finite-dimensional associative K-algebra A which is simple, and for which the center is exactly K. (Note that not every simple algebra is a central simple algebra over its center: for instance, if K is a field of characteristic 0, then the Weyl algebra is a simple algebra with center K, but is not a central simple algebra over K as it has infinite dimension as a K-module.) For example, the complex numbers C form a CSA over themselves, but not over the real numbers R (the center of C is all of C, not just R). The quaternions H form a 4-dimensional CSA over R, and in fact represent the only non-trivial element of the Brauer group of the reals (see below). Given two central simple algebras A ~ M(n,S) and B ~ M(m,T) over the same field F, A and B are called similar (or Brauer equivalent) if their division rings S and T are isomorphic. The set of all equivalence classes of central simple algebras over a given field F, under this equivalence relation, can be equipped with a group operation given by the tensor product of algebras. The resulting group is called the Brauer group Br(F) of the field F. It is always a torsion group. (Wikipedia).
Centralizer of a set in a group
A centralizer consider a subset of the set that constitutes a group and included all the elements in the group that commute with the elements in the subset. That's a mouthful, but in reality, it is actually an easy concept. In this video I also prove that the centralizer of a set in a gr

Center of a group in abstract algebra
After the previous video where we saw that two of the elements in the dihedral group in six elements commute with all the elements in the group, we finally get to define the center of a group. The center of a group is a subgroup and in this video we also go through the proof to show this.

Centralizer of an element in the dihedral group of order 6
Before we go on to the stabilizer of a set in a group, I want to use the dihedral group of order 6, select one of its elements and then go through the whole group to show that there are element that commute with this chosen element. I will do this wil the help of Mathematica. A shoutout

Abstract: Let G be a semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type. The universal centralizer is the family of centralizers in G of regular elements in Lie(G), parametrized by their conjugacy classes. It has a natural symplectic structure, obtained by Hamiltonian reduction from the cotangent
