Algebras whose right nucleus is a central simple algebra

We generalize Amitsur's construction of central simple algebras which are split by transcendental extensions to nonassociative algebras: for every central division algebra D over a field F of characteristic zero there exists an infinite-dimensional unital nonassociative algebra whose right nucleus is D and whose left and middle nucleus are a transcendental extension of F splitting D. We then give a short direct proof that every p-algebra of degree m, which has a purely inseparable splitting field K of degree m and exponent one, is a differential extension of K and cyclic. We obtain finite-dimensional division algebras over a field F of characteristic p>0 whose right nucleus is a division p-algebra.
