precisely.

What Nikolaus and Zinovy prove is that for an order A the Azumaya

worked a bit with orders this result is strange at first until you
recognize it as being essentially a consequence of Bill Schelter's
catenarity result for affine p.i.-algebras.
On the positive
side it shows that the study of orders is roughly equivalent to that of
the study of irreducible
On the negative side, it shows that the
