Finite order of an element in Brauer group.

64 Views Asked by At

I know that $A$ is an central simple álgebra over a field $F$, then $[A]$ has finite order in the Brauer group. But, how to prove it?

I appreciate any hint

It corresponds to a cohomology class in $H^2(G,K^*)$ for some finite Galois extension $K/F$ with Galois group $G$. Cohomology groups with respect to a finite group $G$ are (except for $H^0$) annihilated by $|G|$.
