Oct 27, 2019 at 9:17 comment added Martin Bright The usual way to recover $k^n$ from $M_n(k)$ is to take a minimal left ideal. Does that work?

Oct 27, 2019 at 6:55 comment added user39380 @Eoin Thanks! Furthermore, would there be a way to express this $\mathcal{H}$ in terms of $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$? (The result seems to claim we can always pick some line bundle $\mathcal{L}$, so that we can write $\mathcal{G}\otimes\mathcal{L}$ as $\mathcal{F}\otimes\mathcal{H}$? I am a bit confused how to show a module has a specific "tensor summand")
Oct 27, 2019 at 5:33 comment added Eoin I think so. I'm looking at Milne's Etale cohomology book, Chapter IV, Section 2. For X a scheme you have an exact sequence $1\rightarrow G_{m,X}\rightarrow GL_{n,X}\rightarrow PGL_{n,X}\rightarrow 1$ (of etale sheaves on X). The group of azumaya algebras includes into $H^2_{et}(X,G_m)$ by Theorem 2.5 of loc. cit., so if one is trivial then it comes from an element of $H^1_{et}(X,GL_n)$. I think this correspondence sends a locally free sheaf $\mathcal{F}$ of rank $n$ to $\mathcal{E}nd(\mathcal{F})$.
