We prove that the class of Brauer graph algebras coincides with the class of indecomposable idempotent algebras of biserial weighted surface algebras. These algebras are associated to triangulated surfaces with arbitrarily oriented…
We examine when division algebras can share common splitting fields of certain types. In particular, we show that one can find fields for which one has infinitely many Brauer classes of the same index and period at least 3, all…
We present an algorithm to compute the Brauer group of involution surface bundles over rational surfaces.
We study the representation theory of the cyclotomic Brauer algebra via truncation to idempotent subalgebras which are isomorphic to a product of walled and classical Brauer algebras. In particular, we determine the block structure and…
An element in the Brauer group of a general complex projective $K3$ surface $S$ defines a sublattice of the transcendental lattice of $S$. We consider those elements of prime order for which this sublattice is Hodge-isometric to the…
We prove a local-to-global principle for Brauer classes: for any finite collection of non-trivial Brauer classes on a variety over a field of transcendence degree at least 3, there are infinitely many specializations where each class stays…
We compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of elliptic curves over the integers, localizations of the integers, finite fields of odd characteristic, and algebraically closed fields of characteristic not $2$. The methods involved…
We study the decomposition of central simple algebras of exponent 2 into tensor products of quaternion algebras. We consider in particular decompositions in which one of the quaternion algebras contains a given quadratic extension. Let $B$…
We consider a family of smooth del Pezzo surfaces of degree four and study the geometry and arithmetic of a genus one fibration with two reducible fibres for which a Brauer element is vertical.
A descent conjecture of Wittenberg [Wit24, Conjecture 3.7.4] predicts that if all the twists of a rationally connected torsor over a smooth base satisfy weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction, then so does the base. We give an…
We compute Ext-groups between classical exponential functors (i.e. symmetric, exterior or divided powers) and their Frobenius twists. Our method relies on bar constructions, and bridges these Ext-groups with the homology of Eilenberg-Mac…
We consider the problem of computing the relative Brauer group of a torsor of period 2 under an elliptic curve E. We show how this problem can be reduced to finding a set of generators for the group of rational points on E. This extends…
We show that the torsion in the group of indecomposable $(2,1)$-cycles on a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field is isomorphic to a twist of its Brauer group, away from the characteristic. In particular, this group…
We prove that the Brauer group of the generic diagonal surface of arbitrary degree is trivial. The same method is applied to surfaces whose equation can be written as the sum of two bilinear forms. This uses a general criterion for the…
The numerical invariants (global) cohomological length, (global) cohomological width, and (global) cohomological range of complexes (algebras) are introduced. Cohomological range leads to the concepts of derived bounded algebras and…
We describe a practical algorithm for computing Brauer-Manin obstructions to the existence of rational points on hyperelliptic curves defined over number fields. This offers advantages over descent based methods in that its correctness does…
We present a method for calculating the Brauer group of a surface given by a diagonal equation in the projective space. For diagonal quartic surfaces with coefficients in Q we determine the Brauer groups over Q and Q(i).
In this paper, we give an explicit description about the second Hochschild cohomology groups of bipartite Brauer graph algebras with trivial grading. Based on this, we provide geometric interpretations of deformations associated to some…
To study the set of torsion classes of a finite dimensional basic algebra, we use a decomposition, called sign-decomposition, parametrized by elements of $\{\pm1\}^n$ where $n$ is the number of simple modules. If $A$ is an algebra with…
We prove that every Brauer class over a field splits over a torsor under an abelian variety. If the index of the class is not congruent to 2 modulo 4, we show that the Albanese variety of any smooth curve of positive genus that splits the…
