We compute the vertical unramified Brauer group of the Galois normic bundles, which are given by $\mathrm{N}_{K/k}(\mathbf{z})=P(x)$. Our main result gives combinatorial formulas for the vertical unramified Brauer groups in terms of the…

Let $k$ be a field, and let $L$ be an \'etale k-algebra of finite rank. If $a$ is a nonzero element in $k$, let $X_a$ be the affine variety defined by the norm equation $N_{L/k}(x) = a$. Assuming that $L$ has at least one factor that is a…

For varieties given by an equation N_{K/k}(\Xi)=P(t), where N_{K/k} is the norm form attached to a field extension K/k and P(t) in k[t] is a polynomial, three topics have been investigated: (1) computation of the unramified Brauer group of…

Let k be a number field and K/k Galois. We transform the construction of the unramified Brauer group of the norm one torus R^1_K/k(G_m) into the construction of a special abelian extension over K. If k=Q and K/Q biquadratic, we explicitly…

We establish a formula for computing the unramified Brauer group of tame conic bundle threefolds in characteristic 2. The formula depends on the arrangement and residue double covers of the discriminant components, the latter being governed…

We classify all groups of order $p^5$ with non-trivial unramified Brauer groups. We show that if $p>3$, then there are precisely $\gcd (p-1,4)+\gcd (p-1,3)+1$ such groups.
