The connection between automorphisms of Azumaya algebras and the Picard group of the center has been noticed by Rosenberg-Zelinsky (RZ) [8], following a remark by Auslander-Goldman [l]. This connection has been generalized, using the Morita context, first by Bass [4] and more recently by Frohlich [5]. In my thesis I suggested another way of proving the result of [8]. This is done rather mechanically, by passing to the spectrum of the center of the given Azumaya algebra and taking the exact cohomology sequence resulting from an exact sequence of sheaves of units. This is described, in more detail, further on. However, this way of proving the RZ theorem shows two things:
Algebra and Number Theory, Relevant commutative algebra, Sheaves, derived categories of sheaves, etc., Commutative ring extensions and related topics, Automorphisms and endomorphisms
