Brauer group


1 Algebraic view

Let K be a field. The Brauer groupMathworldPlanetmath Br(K) of K is the set of all equivalence classesMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of central simple algebras over K, where two central simple algebras A and B are equivalentMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath if there exists a division ring D over K and natural numbersMathworldPlanetmath n,m such that A (resp. B) is isomorphicPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath to the ring of n×n (resp. m×m) matrices with coefficients in D.

The group operationMathworldPlanetmath in Br(K) is given by tensor productPlanetmathPlanetmath: for any two central simple algebras A,B over K, theirproductPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath in Br(K) is the central simple algebra AKB. The identity elementMathworldPlanetmath in Br(K) is the class of K itself, and the inverseMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of a central simple algebra A isthe opposite algebraPlanetmathPlanetmath Aopp defined by reversingthe order of the multiplication operationMathworldPlanetmath of A.

2 Cohomological view

The Brauer group of K is naturally isomorphic to the second Galois cohomology groupH2(Gal(Ksep/K),(Ksep)×).See http://www.math.harvard.edu/ elkies/M250.01/index.htmlhttp://www.math.harvard.edu/ elkies/M250.01/index.html Theorem 12 and succeeding remarks.
