The Schur or projective Schur group of a field consists of the classes of central simple algebras which occur in the decomposition of a group algebra or a twisted group algebra. For number fields, the projective Schur group has been determined in [8], whereas the Schur group is extensively studied in [25]. Recently, some authors have generalized these concepts to commutative rings. One then studies the classes of Azumaya algebras which are epimorphic images of a group ring or a twisted group ring. Though several properties of the Schur or projective Schur group defined in this way have been obtained, they remain rather obscure objects.
