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 wasted our spirit in the regions of the abstract and general just as the monks let it wither in the world of prayer and contemplation.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.”
