Abstract
Fix an -adically complete Noetherian ring and suppose is a proper -scheme. This article concerns the relationship between the Brauer group of and that of the various where is the fiber over . In particular, we answer a question of Grothendieck by showing that, in positive and mixed characteristic, there are examples of with nontrivial Brauer classes that restrict to zero on all the . We characterize such behavior, prove this cannot happen in characteristic zero, and deduce a formal GAGA statement for Brauer classes.
