Surfaces stablement rationnelles sur un corps quasi-fini

Algebraic Geometry 2018-06-19 v2

Abstract

If a smooth, geometrically rational surface over a finite field is not rational over that field, then over some finite extension of that field the Brauer group of the surface is nonzero. In particular such a surface is not stably rational. This is a special case of a general statement about geometrically rational surfaces which split over a cyclic extension of their field of definition.
