The bigger Brauer group and twisted sheaves

Algebraic Geometry 2008-03-26 v1

Abstract

Given an algebraic stack with quasiaffine diagonal, we show that each G_m-gerbe comes from a central separable algebra. In other words, Taylor's bigger Brauer group equals the etale cohomology in degree two with coefficients in G_m. This gives new results also for schemes. We use the method of twisted sheaves explored by de Jong and Lieblich.
