Abstract

The method of field patching has proven useful in obtaining results on Galois theory, central simple algebras, and quadratic forms. A crucial ingredient for this was proving certain "factorization" results for connected, rational linear algebraic groups. In this paper, we explore other possible applications of field patching by examining the relationship between factorization results and local-global principles, and also by extending the known factorization results to connected, retract rational linear algebraic groups.
