Abstract

Let kk be a finitely generated field of characteristic p>0p>0 and XX a smooth and proper scheme over kk. Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if XX satisfies the \ell-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime p\ell\neq p, the Galois invariant subgroup Br(Xk)[p]π1(k)Br(X_{\overline k})[p']^{\pi_1(k)} of the prime-to-pp torsion of the geometric Brauer group of XX is finite. The main result of this note is that, for every integer d1d\geq 1, there exists a constant C:=C(X,d)C:=C(X,d) such that for every finite field extension kkk \subseteq k' with [k:k]d[k':k]\leq d and every (k/k)(\overline k/k')-form YY of XX one has (Br(Y×kk)[p]π1(k)C|(Br(Y\times_{k'}\overline k)[p']^{\pi_1(k')}|\leq C. The theorem is a consequence of general results on forms of compatible systems of π1(k)\pi_1(k)-representations and it extends to positive characteristic a recent result of Orr and Skorobogatov in characteristic zero.
