In this note we provide explicit generators of the Picard groups of cyclic Brauer-Severi varieties defined over the base field. In particular, for all Brauer-Severi surfaces. To produce these generators we use the Twisting Theory for smooth…

We classify absolutely split vector bundles on proper $k$-schemes. More precise, we prove that the closed points of the Picard scheme are in one-to-one correspondence with indecomposable absolutely split vector bundles. Furthermore, we…

It is well known that the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a gerbe banded by a diagonalizable group decomposes according to the characters of the group. We establish the corresponding decomposition of the unbounded derived category of…

We study homotopy rational points of Brauer-Severi varieties over fields of characteristic zero. We are particularly interested if a Brauer-Severi variety admitting a homotopy rational point splits. The analogue statement turns out to be…

In this paper we give an algorithm for computing equations of Brauer-Severi varieties over perfect fields of characteristic 0. As an example we show the equations of all Brauer-Severi surfaces defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.

We study the question of whether the Brauer group is isomorphic to the cohomological one in spectral algebraic geometry. For this, we prove the compact generation of the derived category of twisted sheaves for quasi-compact spectral…

We introduce the relative units-Picard complex of an arbitrary morphism of schemes and apply it to the problem of describing the (cohomological) Brauer group of a (fiber) product of schemes in terms of the Brauer groups of the factors.…

We consider those projective bundles (or Brauer-Severi varieties) over an abelian variety that are homogeneous, i.e., invariant under translation. We describe the structure of these bundles in terms of projective representations of…

We use twisted sheaves and their moduli spaces to study the Brauer group of a scheme. In particular, we (1) show how twisted methods can be efficiently used to re-prove the basic facts about the Brauer group and cohomological Brauer group…

We relate the Brauer group of a smooth variety over a p-adic field to the geometry of the special fibre of a regular model, using the purity theorem in \'etale cohomology. As an illustration, we describe how the Brauer group of a smooth del…

We compute the Brauer group of some of the known Enriques manifolds. We then build special Brauer-Severi varieties on these manifolds and study the pull-back map from the Brauer group of an Enriques manifold to that of its hyper-K\"ahler…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the birational geometry of Generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties $V(A)$ and $V(B)$ are birational if the underlying central simple…

We use twisted relative Picard varieties to split Brauer classes on projective varieties over algebraically closed fields by torsors for a fixed abelian scheme independent of the Brauer class. The construction is also used to prove that the…

We study the Brauer class rising from the obstruction to the existence of tautological line bundles on the Picard scheme of curves. We determine the period and index of the Brauer class in certain cases.

We produce refined index obstructions, generalizing recently constructed index obstructions due to de Jong and Perry, for topologically trivial Brauer classes on smooth and projective complex varieties. We show that our refined obstructions…

We study the algebraic structure of the automorphism group of the derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety twisted by a Brauer class. Our main results generalize results of Rouquier in the untwisted case.

Let $k$ be a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ and $X$ a smooth and proper scheme over $k$. Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if $X$ satisfies the $\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime…

We construct genus one curves on base extensions of generic Severi--Brauer varieties of a given index and period which are versal objects for families of geometrically elliptic normal curves. We also compute the periods and indices of these…

We compute the continuous bounded cohomology of the full automorphism groups of regular trees in all positive degrees, with coefficients arising from any irreducible continuous unitary representations. To the author's knowledge, this seems…

A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…
