\begin{proof}[Sketch of proof]
In the abelian case ($d = 1$), one has the identification
To prove that $\delta$ defines a group homomorphism, i.e., that
$\delta(A \otimes_K B) = \delta(A) + \delta(B)$, one computes
directly with cocycles.

Injectivity of $\delta$. In the abelian case ($d = 1$), one has the

\cite{SGA4.5}.) Rather, to prove this, one can reinterpret $\delta([A])$ as the
obstruction to the existence of a $K$-vector space $V$ with a left $A$-module
structure and such that $\dim_K V = \deg A$. In the case where $V$ exists, one
has $A \cong \text{End}_K(V)$. For surjectivity, pick a

For surjectivity, pick a
cohomology class $\xi \in H^2(\text{Gal}(K^{sep}/K), (K^{sep})^*)$,
then there exists a finite Galois extension $K \subset K' \subset K^{sep}$
such that $\xi$ is the image of some
