Abstract

For any commutative ring $R$, we introduce a group attached to $R$, the {\em Brauer-Galois group of $R$}, defined to be the subgroup of the Brauer group of $R$ consisting of the classes of the Azumaya $R$-algebras which can be represented, via Brauer equivalence, by a Galois extension of $R$. We compute this group for some particular commutative rings.
