N2 - For a smooth geometrically integral variety X over a field k of characteristic 0, we introduce and investigate the extended Picard complex UPic(X). It is a certain complex of Galois modules of length 2, whose zeroth cohomology is and whose first cohomology is k̄[X]×/k̄×, where is a fixed algebraic closure of k and is obtained from X by extension of scalars to k̄. When X is a k-torsor of a connected linear k-group G, we compute UPic(X) = UPic(G) (in the derived category) in terms of the algebraic fundamental group π 1(G). As an application we compute the elementary obstruction for such X.
