The concept of Brauer Groups, originally developed to classify division algebras, has now found many uses in scheme theory and class field theory. Brauer Groups over a field k is defined as the collection of central simple
algebras over k modulo certain equivalence relations and this project is set out to formalise the correspondence between the Brauer groups and the second
Galois cohomology groups Br(k) ≅ H²(Gal(k_sep/k) , k ⃰_sep). In this talk, we give a complete formalisation between the relative Brauer group of a finite
dimensional field extension Br(K/k) and the second group cohomology H²(Gal (K/k) , K ⃰) as the first step.
