Beginning with Wall's introduction [19] of Z2-graded central simple algebras over a field K, a number of related generalizations of the Brauer group have been proposed. In [16] the field K was replaced by a commutative ring R, building upon the theory developed in [1]. The concept of a G-graded central simple K-algebra (G an abelian group) was first defined in [12]; this work and that of [16] was subsequently unified in [6] and [7] via the construction and computation of the graded Brauer group Bφ﹛R, G) (φ a bilinear form from G X G to U(R), the units of R).
