The Schur-Clifford subgroup of the Brauer-Clifford group

Abstract

We define a Schur-Clifford subgroup of Turull's Brauer-Clifford group, similar to the Schur subgroup of the Brauer group. The Schur-Clifford subgroup contains exactly the equivalence classes coming from the intended application to Clifford theory of finite groups. We show that the Schur-Clifford subgroup is indeed a subgroup of the Brauer-Clifford group, as are certain naturally defined subsets. We also show that this Schur-Clifford subgroup behaves well with respect to restriction and corestriction maps between Brauer-Clifford groups.Comment: Corrected a few typos. Final versio
