General Theory
For an arbitrary field K, the Brauer group may be expressed in terms of Galois cohomology as follows:
Here, Ks is the separable closure of K, which coincides with the algebraic closure when K is a perfect field.
A generalisation of the Brauer group to the case of commutative rings by M. Auslander and O. Goldman, and more generally to schemes, was introduced by Alexander Grothendieck. In their approach, central simple algebras over a field are replaced with Azumaya algebras.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or theory:
“We have seen over and over that white male historians in general have tended to dismiss any history they didn’t themselves write, on the grounds that it is unserious, unscholarly, a fad, too “political,” “merely” oral and thus unreliable.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
