Abstract: Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, $G$ a connected linear algebraic group over $k$ and $H$ a connected closed $k$-subgroup of $G$. Let $X$ be a smooth $k$-compactification of $Y=G/H$. We prove that the Galois lattice given by the geometric Picard group of $X$ is flasque. The result was known in the case $H=1$. We compute this Galois lattice up to addition of a permutation module. When $G$ is semisimple and simply connected, the result shows that the Brauer group of $X$ is determined by the maximal toric quotient of $H$.
