Abstract

This thesis focuses on the study of Brauer groups via Galois Cohomology. In particular, it will cover Wedderburn theory of central simple algebras over general fields, group cohomology and Galois Cohomology, generic splitting, and a description of the Brauer group as a Galois Cohomology group. With a blend of arithmetic results from class field theory, the main aim of the thesis will be the determination of the Brauer group of a local field and establishing the reciprocity sequence for the Brauer group of a number field.
