= Cohomological construction of a Brauer class

Cohomologous normalized two-cocycles define isomorphic crossed-product algebras: replacing $\phi$ by the coboundary associated with a one-cochain rescales the basis elements $u_\sigma$. Consequently the crossed-product construction induces a map

H^2(G,L^\times)\longrightarrow\operatorname{Br}(k).
