      Inspired by a construction of Brauer [see \textit{N. Jacobson}, Finite-dimensional division algebras over fields (Springer, Berlin) (1996; Zbl 0874.16002)], the author introduces a class of Brauer group rings \(R[G,M]\), where \(R\) is an associative ring with identity, \(G\) is a multiplicative group and \(M\) is a non-empty set. This class of Brauer group rings contains all group rings and matrix rings over \(R\). Using the technique of \(C^*\)-algebras and suitable Hilbert spaces, the author analyzes the traces of idempotents in Brauer group rings over the field of complex numbers. Moreover, he generalizes well known results for ordinary group rings to Brauer group rings and proves some results about the semisimple, semiprime or von Neumann finite Brauer group rings.
