Let K be a field. The Schur subgroup, S(K), of the Brauer group, B(K), consists of all classes [△] in B(K) some representative of which is a simple component of one of the semi-simple group algebras, KG, where G is a finite group such that char K ∤ G. Yamada ([11], p. 46) has characterized S(K) for all finite extensions of the p-adic number field, Qp. If p is odd, [△] ∈ S(K) if and only if

where c is the tame ramification index of k/Qp, k the maximal cyclotomic subfield of K, and s = ((p – 1)/c, [K : k]). invp △ is the Hasse invariant. Yamada showed this by proving first that S(K) is the group of classes containing cyclotomic algebras and then determining the invariants of such algebras.
