We study the Brauer groups of regular conic bundles over elliptic curves defined over a number field $k$. We explicitly compute the Brauer group of the conic bundle when the singular fibres lie above $k$-points that are divisible by $2$ in…

Let X be a smooth variety over a number field k embedded as a degree d subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^n$ and suppose that X is a counterexample to the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. We consider the question of whether…

In this paper, for a smooth variety equiped with an action of a connected algebraic group (not necessary linear), we introduce the notion of invariant Brauer sub-group and the notion of invariant \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction. Then we…

A purity conjecture due to Grothendieck and Auslander--Goldman predicts that the Brauer group of a regular scheme does not change after removing a closed subscheme of codimension $\ge 2$. The combination of several works of Gabber settles…

We study $p$-torsion Brauer classes in positive characteristic arising from differential forms. We relate this construction to the Brauer group of supersingular K3 surfaces and analyze the contribution of these classes to the Brauer-Manin…

We prove that the $p^\infty$-torsion of the transcendental Brauer group of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ is bounded. This answers a (variant of a) question asked by Skorobogatov and Zarhin for…

Suppose $X$ is a torsor under an abelian variety $A$ over a number field. We show that any adelic point of $X$ that is orthogonal to the algebraic Brauer group of $X$ is orthogonal to the whole Brauer group of $X$. We also show that if…

We prove that the quotient of the Brauer group of a product of varieties over k by the sum of the images of the Brauer groups of factors has finite exponent. The bulk of the proof concerns p-primary torsion in characteristic p. Our approach…

The Tate conjecture for divisors on varieties over number fields is equivalent to finiteness of $\ell$-primary torsion in the Brauer group. We show that this finiteness is actually uniform in one-dimensional families for varieties that…

We study the Brauer groups of affine surfaces that are complements of singular hyperplane sections of smooth cubic surfaces over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$. We determine the Brauer group over the algebraic closure as a Galois module…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective integral variety over a finitely generated field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. We show that the finiteness of the exponent of the $p$-primary part of $\mathrm{Br}(X_{k^s})^{G_k}$ is equivalent to the Tate…

For a smooth and proper variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the group $Br(X)[p^\infty]$ is a direct sum of finitely many copies of $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$ and an abelian group of finite exponent.…

For a smooth and projective variety over a number field with torsion free geometric Picard group and finite transcendental Brauer group we show that only the archimedean places, the primes of bad reduction and the primes dividing the order…

We provide a relation between Brauer-Manin obstruction and descent obstruction for torsors over open varieties under a connected linear algebraic group or a group of multiplicative type is given. Such a relation is further refined for…

This article focuses on smooth, projective, and geometrically integral varieties $X$ defined over a number field $k$ with torsion-free geometric Picard groups. We establish an isomorphism between the Brauer groups of $X$ and its symmetric…

For algebraic stacks over number fields, we define their Brauer-Manin sets, Brauer-Manin pairings, and extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. By extending Sansuc's exact sequence, we show the torsionness of Brauer…

For a smooth proper variety over a $p$-adic field, the Brauer group and abelian fundamental group are related to the higher Chow groups by the Brauer-Manin pairing and the class field theory. We generalize this relation to smooth (possibly…

We consider the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of integral points on affine surfaces defined by $x^2 - ay^2 = P(t)$ over a number field. We enumerate the possibilities for the Brauer groups of certain families of such surfaces,…

For a quasi-projective smooth geometrically integral variety over a number field $k$, we prove that the iterated descent obstruction is equivalent to the descent obstruction. This generalizes a result of Skorobogatov, and this answers an…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…
