Gersten's injectivity conjecture for a functor $F$ of ``motivic type'', predicts that given a semilocal, ``non-singular'', integral domain $R$ with a fraction field $K$, the restriction morphism induces an injection of $F(R)$ inside $F(K)$.…

Let R be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic, D an Azumaya R-algebra, K the fraction field of R, Nrd the reduced norm homomorphism for the Azumaya R-algebra D. Let a be a unit in R. It is proved the following: suppose…

We define a generalization of the Brauer group $\operatorname{H}_\mathrm{B}^{n}(X)$ for an equi-dimensional scheme $X$ and $n>0$. In the case where $X$ is the spectrum of a local ring of a smooth algebra over a discrete valuation ring,…

Let $S$ be a non-empty scheme with 2 invertible. In this paper we present a functor $F: AZ_*^{n'} \rightarrow GS_*^n$ where $AZ_*^{n'}$ and $GS_*^n$ are fibered categories over $Sch_S$ given respectively by degree-$n'$ Azumaya algebras with…

In this note, we consider the Gersten complex for Milnor $K$-theory over a regular local Henselian domain $S$ and prove that in degrees $\geq \dim S\geq 1$, the Gersten complex of an essentially smooth Henselian local $S$-scheme is exact.

We establish a trace formula for signatures of hermitian forms over Azumaya algebras with involution, extending Knebusch's work on symmetric bilinear forms over finite \'etale extensions of commutative base rings. As an application when the…

Let $n\geq 0$ and $r>0$ be integers. Let $\mathcal{O}_{X, x}^{h}$ be the henselization of the local ring $\mathcal{O}_{X, x}$ of a scheme $X$ at a point $x\in X$. For a normal crossing variety $Y$ over the spectrum of a field $k$ of…

Let A be an Azumaya algebra of constant rank n^2 over a Hensel pair (R,I) where R is a semilocal ring with n invertible in R. Then the reduced Whitehead group SK(A) coincides with its reduction SK(A/IA).

We study invariant Hermitian forms on a conformal vertex algebra and on their (twisted) modules. We establish existence of a non-zero invariant Hermitian form on an arbitrary $W$-algebra. We show that for a minimal simple $W$-algebra…

The Witt group of a smooth curve over a real closed field is explicitely calculated. The method uses a comparison theorem between the graded Witt group and the etale cohomology groups. In the second part of the paper, the torsion Picard…

Let $X$ be a smooth variety over a field $K$ with function field $K(X)$. Using the interpretation of the torsion part of the \'etale cohomology group $H_{\text{\'et}}^2(K(X), \mathbb{G}_m)$ in terms of Milnor-Quillen algebraic $K$-group…

We prove a version of the Bhargava-Kane-Lenstra-Poonen-Rains heuristics for Selmer groups of quadratic twist families of abelian varieties over global function fields. As a consequence, we derive a result towards the "minimalist conjecture"…

This paper is dedicated to a further study of derived Azumaya algebras. The first result we obtain is a Beauville-Laszlo-style property for such objects (considered up to Morita equivalence), which is consequence of a more general…

The main theorem (Theorem 4.1) of this paper claims that any ring morphism from an Azumaya algebra of constant rank over a commutative ring to another one of the same constant rank and over a reduced commutative ring induces a ring morphism…

Let X be a cubic surface over a local number field k. Given an Azumaya algebra on X, we describe the local evaluation map X(k) -> Q/Z in two cases, showing a sharp dependence on the geometry of the reduction of X. We show that a suitably…

We describe all Witt invariants of anti-hermitian forms over a quaternion algebra with its canonical involution, and in particular all Witt invariants of orthogonal groups $O(A,\sigma)$ where $(A,\sigma)$ is an central simple algebra with…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finite group. Consider $G$-graded simple algebras $A$ which are finite dimensional and $e$-central over $F$, i.e. $Z(A)_{e} := Z(A)\cap A_{e} = F$. For any…

After extending Orlov's theorem, we prove specialization of derived equivalence for flat proper families of Azumaya varieties.

We compute arithmetic Chern classes of sheaves on an arithmetic surface X associated to a Hermitian Azumaya algebra.

We consider the general circumstance of an Azumaya algebra $A$ of degree $n$ over a locally ringed topos $(\mathbf{X}, {\mathcal{O}}_{\mathbf{ X}})$ where the latter carries a (possibly trivial) involution, denoted $\lambda$. This…
