Caius Tacob obtained his ph.d. degree at the University of Paris,with the renowned Ment Vitlat as thesis superviser. Returned to Romania,Caius Iacob held various academic positions until he became a Professor of Mathenatics at the University of Cluj in Transylvania.He then became Vice-President of that university,and @ Carresponding Nenber of the Romanian Acade- fny.In the 1950's Catus Iacob moved to Bucharest University,and for a Tong pertod he was the Chair of the Department of Theoretical Mechanics.Ye contributed signi- Ficantly to the creation of new generations of researchers in Mechanics ,particu~ larly in Fluid Mechanics.He has been also a strong supporter of the Applied Mathe- matics in Ronania,and the newly created institute with the Romanian Acadeny was in greates part his project.Catus Iacob has been elected in 1960's a Member of the Ro~ mnanian Academy.in recognition of his outstanding merits in research, fimong his publications we notice “Introducere matenatica in mecanica fluidelor",td. Academiei,1952.This book has been also translated in French.It did exert 2 strong influence anong young researchers in Ronania,in the field of Fluid Mechanics and its applications.

POP (Abstract) A structure theorem in local number theory describe complete discrete valuation rings of equal characteristic as formal power series rings over the residual field. Wore generally the structure theorens of complete local noetherian rings (I.S-cohen) describe such rings as honenorphic images of formal power series rings with cosffieiente ina field or a truncated Witt vectors ring - according to the fact that the original ring has the same characteristic as the residual field or not - and in later case equal to a power of the characteristic of the residual field. We mention also the classical results on the structure of (noncommutative) finite dimensional agebras :Wedderburn Artin Theoren An Artinian ring without radical is a direct sun of rings of matrices over division rings - and the Wedderburn Principal Theorem ~A separable algebra is isomorphic to a direct sun of its residual algebra and its radical. Tempted co extend the first mentioned result to noncommutative rings keeping in mind the theorems of Wedderburn we first have to define the twisted ponconmutative polynomial rings over a semisimple ring A of coefficients associated to a twisting mapping #4 — M,(\)-The folowing rule describes how coefficients and nonconmuting variables "commute": one can move a coefficient from the left to the right by using the twisting mapping Taio 5) ‘This generalize the usual skew polynomial rings. Now wa have the following results in the equal characteristic case STRUCTURE THEOREM : Let A be finitely generated over its center and such that the residual algebra is separable over the image of the center inside it. Then A is (a direct product of) honomorphic image of (truncated) noncommutative twisted polynonyal rings with coefficients in a semisimple algebra (isomorphic to the residual algebra). FINITENES THEOREM ; There are finitely many twisting mapping for a given coefficient ring and a given number of variables. In fact this will be a consequence of the following EXTENSION OF THE NOETHER SKOLEM THEOREM : Let A be a semisimple algebra over a field k and 8 a separable algebra over k.Then the number of orbits of k-algobra homonorphisms from A to B under conjugation by automorphisms of 8 is finite, he sane is true if k ia a local heneelian ring. We can prove similar resuls in the unequal characteristic case(there exists a corresponding version of Wedderburn Principal Theorem proved by Azunaya). in that case the proofs are more elaborate and need a study of coefficient rings which are Witt vectors rings over a separable algebra.
