Given N a finite separable normal extension of a field F, it is well known that the Brauer group Br(N/F) of classes of central simple F-algebras split by N is isomorphic with Ext(N*, G), the classes of group extensions of N* by the Galois group G of N over F. In the construction of this isomorphism, a key role is played by the Skolem-Noether Theorem which extends automorphisms to inner automorphisms in central simple algebras.
