We describe the derived Picard group of an Azumaya algebra A on an affine scheme X in terms of global sections of the constant sheaf of integers on X, the Picard group of X, and the stabilizer of the Brauer class of A under the action of…

We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.

This note is the sequel to [A note on secondary K-theory. Algebra and Number Theory 10 (2016), no. 4, 887-906]. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the canonical map from the derived Brauer group to the…

Let $X$ be a Godeaux surface over $\mathbb{C}$ and $q_{X}\colon Y\to X$ be its universal cover. We show that the pullback map $q^{*}_{X}\colon Br(X)\to Br(Y)$ is injective if $\rho(Y)=9$. Our arguments rely on a degeneration technique that…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring and $K$ be its field of fraction. We show that the canonical map $\Br(V) \to \Br(K)$ is injective.

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…

We show that the Green correspondence induces an injective group homomorphism from the linear source Picard group $\mathcal{L}(B)$ of a block $B$ of a finite group algebra to the linear source Picard group $\mathcal{L}(C)$, where $C$ is the…

Let k be a field, X a smooth, projective k-variety. If X is geometrically rational, there is an injective map from the quotient of Brauer groups Br(X)/Br(k) into the first Galois cohomology group of the lattice given by the geometric Picard…

A natural question is to determine which algebraic stacks are qoutient stacks. In this paper we give some partial answers and relate it to the old question of whether, for a scheme X, the natural map from the Brauer goup (equivalence…

We show, that for a morphism of schemes from X to Y, that is a finite modification in finitely many closed points, a cohomological Brauer class on Y is represented by an Azumaya algebra if its pullback to X is represented by an Azumaya…

Let $X$ be an Enriques surface. Using Beauville's result about the triviality of the Brauer map of $X$, we define a new involution on the category of coherent sheaves on the canonically covering K3 surface $\overline{X}$. We relate the…

Let $X$ be a quasicompact quasiseparated scheme. The collection of derived Azumaya algebras in the sense of To\"en forms a group, which contains the classical Brauer group of $X$ and which we call $Br^\dagger(X)$ following Lurie. To\"en…

Let X be a real projective algebraic manifold, s numerates connected components of X(R) and _2Br(X) the subgroup of elements of order 2 of the cohomological Brauer group Br(X). We study the natural homomorphism \xi : _2Br(X) \to (Z/2)^s and…

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 addresses the problem of calculating the Amitsur subgroup of a proper $k$-scheme. Under mild hypothesis, we calculate this subgroup for proper $k$-varieties $X$ with $\mathrm{Pic}(X)\simeq \mathbb{Z}^{\oplus m}$, using a…

Let k be a base commutative ring, R a commutative ring of coefficients, X a quasi-compact quasi-separated k-scheme, A a sheaf of Azumaya algebras over X of rank r, and Hmo(R) the category of noncommutative motives with R-coefficients.…

We prove that the Brauer group of TMF is isomorphic to the Brauer group of the derived moduli stack of elliptic curves. Then, we compute the local Brauer group, i.e., the subgroup of the Brauer group of elements trivialized by some \'etale…

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…

Over a normal base scheme, we prove the generalized Theorem of the Cube for 1-motives and that a torsion class of the group H^2_\'et(M,G_m)$ of a 1-motive M, whose pull-back via the unit section is zero, comes from an Azumaya algebra. In…

We show that for various natural classes of groups and appropriately defined K- and L-theoretic functors, injectivity or bijectivity of the assembly map follows from the Isomorphism Conjecture being true for acyclic groups lying within that…
