A study on brauer group and brauer diagrams

Abstract

The Brauer group, an important concept in algebra, plays a pivotal role in the study of central simple algebras and their classification. This paper explores the algebraic structures underlying the Brauer group, emphasizing its connections with division algebras, Galois cohomology, and class field theory. We delve into the properties and operations that define the Brauer group, examining how these properties extend across various algebraic and geometric contexts. Additionally, Brauer diagrams, visual representations of elements in the Brauer group, are studied for their applications in tensor categories, quantum algebra, and knot theory. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and illustrative examples, this work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between the Brauer group and Brauer diagrams, shedding light on their significance in modern mathematical research.
