100 Views Asked by At

Two separable algebras over a field are Morita equivalent iff they have an invertible bimodule. If it exists, is this bimodule unique (up to something)?

No, because there exist separable algebras with many autoequivalences. The group of autoequivalences of an algebra is called the Picard group and it is very often non trivial.

Consider the product A of two copies of the ground field. There are two isomorphism classes of invertible A-bimodules.
