Extract

Abstract. For F a field we compute, explicitly and directly, the right Krull dimension of the algebra Qop⊗FQ for certain semisimple Artinian F-algebras Q. (Here Qop denotes the opposite ring of Q.) We use our calculation to give alternative proofs of some theorems of J. T. Stafford and A. I. Lichtman. Our methods involve a detailed study of skew polynomial rings.
