A Brauer group of a double covering of a "well-understood" variety

Let $k$ be a field (it is possible to assume that $k = \mathbb{Q}$ or $= \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$) and $X, Y$ nice varieties over $k$. Let $f \colon Y \to X$ be a finite flat surjective morphism of ...

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 $n=2$? Is ...
