The Abstract for this revised version is the following: Let k be a number field, let C be a smooth, projective and geometrically integral k-curve and let p:X --> C be a Severi-Brauer k-fibration of squarefree index. Various authors have…

For a smooth and projective variety X over a field k of characteristic zero we prove the finiteness of the cokernel of the natural map from the Brauer group of X to the Galois-invariant subgroup of the Brauer group of the same variety over…

Let X be a proper smooth and connected surface over a finite field. We proved in [LLR2] that the order of the Brauer group Br(X) of X is a perfect square if it is finite. Our proof is based in part on a result of Gordon [Gor], which we used…

We present a conjectural formula describing the cokernel of the Albanese map of zero-cycles of smooth projective varieties $X$ over $p$-adic fields in terms of the N\'eron-Severi group and provide a proof under additional assumptions on an…

Let $k$ be a field that is finitely generated over the field of rational numbers and $Br(k)$ the Brauer group of $k$. Let $X$ be an absolutely irreducible smooth projective variety over $k$, let $Br(X)$ be the cohomological…

We prove that the Brauer algebra, for all parameters for which it is quasi-hereditary, is Ringel dual to a category of representations of the orthosymplectic super group. As a consequence we obtain new and algebraic proofs for some results…

In this paper, we determine the structure and representation theory of the Brauer algebra associated to a complex reflection group (here called the Brauer-Chen algebra), defined by Chen in 2011. We prove that it is semisimple and provide a…

An effective formula for the Bergman kernel on $\mathbb{H}_{\gamma} = \{|z_1|^\gamma < |z_2| < 1 \}$ is obtained for rational $\gamma = \frac{m}{n} >1$. The formula depends on arithmetic properties of $\gamma$, which uncovers new symmetries…

Let $L$ be a number field and let $E/L$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$. We use class field theory and results of Skorobogatov and Zarhin to…

Let $X$ be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field $k$. We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on $X$ and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following…

Let $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow C$ be a dominant morphism between smooth irreducible varieties over a finitely generated field $k$ such that the generic fiber $X$ is smooth, projective and geometrically connected. Assuming that $C$ is a curve…

We prove that every element of order 2 in the Brauer group of a complex Kummer surface X descends to an Enriques quotient of X. In 'generic' cases this gives a bijection between the set Enr(X) of Enriques quotients of X up to isomorphism…

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…

We prove Schur--Weyl duality between the Brauer algebra $\mathfrak{B}_n(m)$ and the orthogonal group $O_{m}(K)$ over an arbitrary infinite field $K$ of odd characteristic. If $m$ is even, we show that each connected component of the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of a prime characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a finite group. We investigate the Brauer indecomposability of Scott $kG$-modules in relation to the kernel of modules. We generalize a criterion for Brauer…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, of genus at least three and $L$ a line bundle on $X$. Let ${\mathcal M}_X(r,L)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles on $X$ of rank…

We study in detail two row Springer fibres of even orthogonal type from an algebraic as well as topological point of view. We show that the irreducible components and their pairwise intersections are iterated P^1-bundles. Using results of…

A Brauer pair is a pair (X, {\alpha}) where X is a quasi-projective variety over an algebraically closed field and {\alpha} is an element in the 2-torsion part of the Brauer group of the function field of X. A Brauer pair (Y, {\alpha}) is a…
