Let K be a field and (K) the Brauer group of K. It consists of the similarity classes of finite central simple algebras over K. For any field extension F/K there is a natural mapping (K) → (F) which is obtained by assigning to each central simple algebra A/K the tensor product which is a central simple algebra over F. The kernel of this map is the relative Brauer group (F/K), consisting of those A ∈(K) which are split by F.
