Abstract

For every action ϕHom(G,Autk(K))\phi\in\text{Hom}(G,\text{Aut}_k(K)) of a group GG on a commutative ring KK we introduce two abelian monoids. The monoid Cliffk(ϕ)\text{Cliff}_k(\phi) consists of equivalent classes of GG-graded Clifford system extensions of type ϕ\phi of KK-central algebras. The monoid Ck(ϕ)\mathcal{C}_k{(\phi)} consists of equivariant classes of generalized collective characters of type ϕ\phi from GG to the Picard groups of KK-central algebras. Furthermore, for every such ϕ\phi there is an exact sequence of abelian monoids 0H2(G,Kϕ)Cliffk(ϕ)Ck(ϕ)H3(G,Kϕ).0\to H^2(G,K^*_{\phi})\to\text{Cliff}_k(\phi)\to\mathcal{C}_k{(\phi)}\to H^3(G,K^*_{\phi}). The rightmost homomorphism is often surjective, terminating the above sequence. When ϕ\phi is a Galois action, then the restriction-obstruction sequence of Brauer groups is an image of an exact sequence of sub-monoids of this sequence.
