Let L^K be fields and let B(L/K), the relative Brauer group of L/K, denote the subgroup of the Brauer group B (K) of K consisting of those Brauer classes of fmite dimensional central simple AT-algebras which are split by L. In this paper we continue the investigation of the structure of B(L/K) begun in [10]. Let L=>K be global fields and let p be a prime dividing [L'.K]. (By a global field we mean either an algebraic number field or an algebraic function field in one variable over a finite field.) As shown in the proof of [10], Proposition 4, the /?-primary component B (L/K) p of B (L / K) is infinite if L is Galois over K. Example l of [10] shows, however, that this need not hold if L is not Galois over K. This raises the following natural question: do there exist global fields L => K, L Φ K, with B(L/K) finite? We show in § 3 that the existence of such fields is equivalent to the existence of a finite transitive permutation group G acting on a set Ω, |Ω|>1, with the property that all nontrivial elements of G of prime power order have fixed points on Ω. Under the assumption that the classification of the finite simple groups is complete, we sketch a proof in § 2 that no such pair (G, Ω) exists.
