Brauer groups and field extensions
Let $k$ be a field and $\mathrm{Br}(k)$ the Brauer group of $k$. Let $k \subset L$ be a field extension. Let $b \in \mathrm{Br}(k)$ and denote by $b \otimes L \in \mathrm{Br}(L)$ the base-change of $b$...

Do $PGL_n$-torsors induce elements of the Brauer group
Let $K$ be a field and let $n\geq 2$. If $n=2$, then the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of $PGL_n$-torsors is in bijection with the $n$-torsion of the Brauer group of $K$.
Is this only for $n=2$?
