The Bigger Brauer Group Is Really Big

چکیده
I show that each étale n-cohomology class on noetherian schemes comes from a Čech cocycle, provided that any n-tuple of points admits an affine open neighborhood. Together with results of Raeburn and Taylor on the bigger Brauer group, this implies that for schemes such that each pair of points admits an affine open neighborhood, any étale Gm-gerbe comes from a coherent central separable algebra. Such algebras are nonunital generalizations of Azumaya algebras. I also prove that, on normal noetherian schemes, each Zariski Gm-gerbe comes from a central separable algebra.

Self-equivalences of the Derived Category of Brauer Tree Algebras with Exceptional Vertex
Let k be a field and A be a Brauer tree algebra associated with a Brauer tree with possibly non trivial exceptional vertex. In an earlier joint paper with Raphaël Rouquier we studied and defined the group TrP ick(Λ) of standard self-equivalences of the derived category of a kalgebra Λ. In the present note we shall determine a non trivial homomorphism of a group slightly bigger than the pure bra...
متن کاملThe Brauer Group of a Hopf Algebra
Let H be a Hopf algebra with a bijective antipode over a commutative ring k with unit. The Brauer group of H is defined as the Brauer group of Yetter–Drinfel’d H-module algebras, which generalizes the Brauer–Long group of a commutative and cocommutative Hopf algebra and those known Brauer groups of structured algebras.
متن کاملBrauer Groups
I define the Brauer group of a field k as similarity classes of central simple algebras over k. Then I introduce non-abelean cohomology and use it to prove that the Brauer group is isomorphic to a certain cohomology group. Brauer groups show up in global class field theory.
متن کاملCharacters of Brauer's Centralizer Algebras
Brauer's centralizer algebras are finite dimensional algebras with a distinguished basis. Each Brauer centralizer algebra contains the group algebra of a symmetric group as a subalgebra and the distinguished basis of the Brauer algebra contains the permutations as a subset. In view of this containment it is desirable to generalize as many known facts concerning the group algebra of the symmetri...
متن کاملNMR Hits the Big Time
When it comes to structural biology, bigger really is better. Most biological processes are performed by enormous multicomponent complexes, such as the ribosome. To solve the structures of these monsters, biologists traditionally have used two different but complementary techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. They have had considerable success using the latter t...
