Studies of torsion [2] and inflation [11] of Amitsur cohomology have primarily been concerned with module-finite faithful projective algebras. In this paper, our goal is to consider these topics for more general algebras. The fundamental tool, in case R is a domain with quotient field K, is the functor UK/U (defined in § 1), together with the monomorphic connecting map of Amitsur cohomology H1(S/R, UK/U) → H2(S/R, U) arising from a (commutative) flat R-algebra S and the unit functor U. This map was first considered in [10, Chapter IV, Theorem 1.6], where it was proved to be an isomorphism for certain étale faithfully flat algebras S in case R is an algebraic number ring with trivial Brauer group. In Corollary 1.5 it is shown, in the case of a module-finite faithful projective S over a regular domain R, that the connecting map is the kernel of the canonical homomorphism [8] from H2(S/R, U) to the split Brauer group B(S/R). As the latter map is often injective [8, Corollary 7.7], one might expect instances of vanishing of H1(S/R, UK/U) without assuming both R Noetherian and S module-finite R-projective. Much of § 1 (viz. (1.7)-(1.9)) is devoted to such examples.
