Abstract
We define a group containing, in a sense, the graded complex and orthogonal Brauer groups of a locally compact groupoid 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 . More generally, it is shown to be a direct summand of the well-known graded complex Brauer goup. In addition, we prove that identifies with a direct sum of a Real cohomology group and the abelian group of Real graded -central extensions. A cohomological picture is then given.
