Abstract

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, let X be a geometrically integral k-variety of dimension n and let K be its field of fractions. Under the assumption that K contains all r-th roots of unity for an integer r, we prove that, given an element in H^m(K, Z/r), it becomes unramified in the extension of K obtained by adding r-th roots of some n^2 functions in K.
