Artin's conjecture and related problems
Certain division algebras arise naturally in noncommutative projective geometry as the ``function skew fields" of noncommutative projective varieties. Artin conjectured that the division algebras associated in this way to noncommutative surfaces are either finite over their centers, or else fall on a short list of known possibilities. We discuss the conjecture and other recent work on problems about division rings that are motivated by noncommutative projective geometry.
