Some properties of a Brauer class

Algebraic Geometry 2019-08-09 v1 Rings and Algebras

Abstract

Let XX be a smooth proper curve defined over a field kk. The representability of the relative Picard functor is obstructed by a class αBr(PicX/k)\alpha\in\mathrm{Br}(\mathrm{Pic}_{X/k}). We show the associated division algebra on PicX/k0\mathrm{Pic}^0_{X/k} has natural involutions. We show the class α\alpha splits at some height one points in PicX/k\mathrm{Pic}_{X/k}.
