Definition

(Szymik 11, def. 3.8, prop. 5.5)

Properties

Relation to Picard \infty-group and \infty-group of units

Given an E-∞ ring EE, the looping of the Brauer \infty-group is the Picard ∞-group (Szymik 11, theorem 5.7).

ΩBr(E)Pic(E). \Omega Br(E) \simeq Pic(E).

The looping of that is the ∞-group of units (Sagave 11, theorem 1.2).

Ω 2Br(E)ΩPic(E)GL 1(E). \Omega^2 Br(E) \simeq \Omega Pic(E) \simeq GL_1(E) \,.
