Let A be a skew field of degree 3 over a field containing the cube roots of unity. We prove a sort of chain equivalence for Kummer elements in A. As a consequence one obtains a common slot lemma for presentations of A as a cyclic algebra.

A "common slot" counterexample in degree 3

Notes by J.-P. Tignol, June 1996 (2 pages)

With the kind permission of Jean-Pierre Tignol these notes have been included into the article The chain lemma for Kummer elements of degree 3 as an appendix. Nevertheless we still like to keep an extra copy of his text.
