Division Algebra Cyclicity in Prime Degree over a p-Adic CurveAbstract: We reprove two results of Saltman, Theorem 5.1 and Corollary 5.2 of [Sa07]: If F is the function field of a smooth p-adic curve and D is an F-division algebra of prime degree l\neq p, then D is Z/l-cyclic, and that if D is an F-division algebra of prime period l\neq p then D has index l if and only if its ramification locus on a suitable 2-dimensional model forF has no "hot points".
