The Picard Group of Brauer-Severi Varieties

Abstract

In this note we provide explicit generators of the Picard groups of cyclic Brauer-Severi varieties defined over the base field. In particular, for all Brauer-Severi surfaces. To produce these generators we use the Twisting Theory for smooth plane curves.
