Let $A$ be a ring equipped with a derivation $\delta $. We study differential Azumaya $A$ algebras, that is, Azumaya $A$ algebras equipped with a derivation that extends $\delta $. We calculate the differential automorphism group of the…

Using an analogy between the Brauer groups in algebra and the Whitehead groups in topology, we first use methods of algebraic K-theory to give a natural definition of Brauer spectra for commutative rings, such that their homotopy groups are…

In this paper we develop methods for classifying Baker-Richter-Szymik's Azumaya algebras over a commutative ring spectrum, especially in the largely inaccessible case where the ring is nonconnective. We give obstruction-theoretic tools,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An Azumaya coring consists of a couple $(S,\Cc)$, with $S$ a faithfully flat commutative $R$-algebra, and an $S$-coring $\Cc$ satisfying certain properties. If $S$ is faithfully projective, then the dual of…

We consider the derived category of permutation modules for a finite group, in positive characteristic. We stratify this tensor triangulated category using Brauer quotients. We describe the spectrum of its compact objects, by reducing the…

In the present paper we study some homotopy invariants which can be defined by means of bundles with fiber a matrix algebra. We also introduce some generalization of the Brauer group in the topological context and show that any its element…

In this paper, we study Azumaya algebras and Brauer groups in derived algebraic geometry. We establish various fundamental facts about Brauer groups in this setting, and we provide a computational tool, which we use to compute the Brauer…

We study the nontrivial elements in the Brauer group of a bielliptic surface and show that they can be realized as Azumaya algebras with a simple structure at the generic point of the surface. We go on to study some properties of the…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $K$ with function field $K(X)$. Using the interpretation of the torsion part of the \'etale cohomology group $H_{\text{\'et}}^2(K(X), \mathbb{G}_m)$ in terms of Milnor-Quillen algebraic $K$-group…

We show that for complex analytic K3 surfaces any torsion class in H^2(X,O_X^*) comes from an Azumaya algebra. In other words, the Brauer group equals the cohomological Brauer group. For algebraic surfaces, such results go back to…

The differential Brauer monoid of a differential commutative ring R s defined. Its elements are the isomorphism classes of differential Azumaya R algebras with operation from tensor product subject to the relation that two such algebras are…

This is the first in a series of papers in which we study representations of the Brauer category and its allies. We define a general notion of triangular category that abstracts key properties of the triangular decomposition of a semisimple…

This paper is dedicated to a further study of derived Azumaya algebras. The first result we obtain is a Beauville-Laszlo-style property for such objects (considered up to Morita equivalence), which is consequence of a more general…

Using Maruyama's theory of elementary transformations, I show that the Brauer group surjects onto the cohomological Brauer group for separated geometrically normal algebraic surfaces. As an application, I infer the existence of nonfree…

This paper investigates the homology of the Brauer algebras, interpreted as appropriate Tor-groups, and shows that it is closely related to the homology of the symmetric group. Our main results show that when the defining parameter of the…

Let T be a torus (not assumed to be split) over a field F, and denote by $_n{H^{2}_{et}(X,Gm)}$ the subgroup of elements of exponent dividing n in the cohomological Brauer group of a scheme X over the field F. We provide conditions on X and…

We investigate the Brauer group of the ring $\mathcal{O}(S)$ of holomorphic functions on a finite-dimensional Stein space S. We provide a purely topological computation of this group and deduce a comparison theorem between the \'etale…

We use an idea of Rosenberg to prove a reconstruction theorem for abelian categories of alpha-twisted quasi-coherent sheaves on quasi-compact and quasi-separated schemes X when alpha is in the Brauer group of X. By applying the work of…

A classic result of representation theory is Brauer's construction of a diagrammatical (geometrical) algebra whose matrix representation is a certain given matrix algebra, which is the commutating algebra of the enveloping algebra of the…

Let $(A,\sigma)$ be an Azumaya algebra with orthogonal involution over a ring $R$ with $2\in R^\times$. We show that if $(A,\sigma)$ admits an improper isometry, i.e., an element $a\in A$ with $\sigma(a)a=1$ and $\mathrm{Nrd}_{A/R}(a)=-1$,…
