Abstract
In the paper [13], the authors studied the problem of realizing rational division algebras in a special way. Let D be a division algebra that is finite dimensional over the rational field Q. If p is a prime, we say that D is p-realizable when there is a p-local torsion free abelian group A whose rank is the dimension of D over Q, such that D is isomorphic to the quasiendomorphism ring of A.
