Number Theory 2026-04-09 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

In this article, we extend the van Hamel-Lichtenbaum duality theorem to (not necessarily smooth) proper and geometrically integral varieties defined over a pp-adic field kk. More precisely, we prove that for such variety XX there exists a natural continuous perfect pairing Br1(X)×H0(X,Z)τQ/Z, \mathrm{Br}_1(X)\times H_0(X,\mathbb{Z})_\tau^{\wedge} \to \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}, where Br1(X):=ker(Br(X)Br(X))\mathrm{Br}_1(X):=\ker(\mathrm{Br}(X)\to\mathrm{Br}(\overline{X})) is the algebraic Brauer group of XX, H0(X,Z)τH_0(X,\mathbb{Z})_\tau is the zeroth group of truncated homology HomD(ksm)(τ1RϕGm,X,Gm,k)\mathrm{Hom}_{D(k_{\mathrm{sm}})}(\tau_{\leq 1}R\phi_*\mathbb{G}_{m,X},\mathbb{G}_{m,k}), ϕ\phi is the structure morphism of XX, and ()(-)^{\wedge} is the profinite completion functor.
