Abstract

We define a group RBr(G)RBr(\mathcal{G}) containing, in a sense, the graded complex and orthogonal Brauer groups of a locally compact groupoid G\mathcal{G} equipped with an involution. When the involution is trivial, we show that the new group naturally provides a generalization of Donovan-Karoubi's graded orthogonal Brauer group GBrOGBrO. More generally, it is shown to be a direct summand of the well-known graded complex Brauer goup. In addition, we prove that RBr(G)RBr(\mathcal{G}) identifies with a direct sum of a Real cohomology group and the abelian group RExt(G,U(1))RExt(\mathcal{G},U(1)) of Real graded U(1)U(1)-central extensions. A cohomological picture is then given.
