Abstract

This paper concerns involutions and anti-automorphisms on finite-dimensional associative algebras over a field. It is based on a survey talk given at the workshop on ‘Quadratic forms, algebras with involution and algebraic K-theory’ at the University of Nottingham, 13–15 May 2004. This workshop was part of the EU network HPRN-CT-2002-00287 on ‘Algebraic $K$-theory, linear algebraic groups and related structures’ and followed the London Mathematical Society Midlands Regional Meeting in Nottingham on 12 May, 2004.

The contents of the article are as follows:

  1. Introduction and historical remarks;

  2. Some general results;

  3. Central simple algebras;

  4. Group algebras.
