Homotopy Rational Points of Brauer-Severi Varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2015-03-30 v1

Abstract

We study homotopy rational points of Brauer-Severi varieties over fields of characteristic zero. We are particularly interested if a Brauer-Severi variety admitting a homotopy rational point splits. The analogue statement turns out to be true for open subvarieties of twisted hyperplane arrangements. In the complete case, the obstruction turns out to be the pullback of the Chern class of a generator of the Picard group along the homotopy rational point. Moreover, we will show that every Brauer-Severi variety over a pp-adic field with pp-primary period admits a homotopy rational point.
