Abstract
Let be a regular variety, flat and proper over a complete regular curve over a finite field, such that the generic fiber is smooth and geometrically connected. We prove that the Brauer group of is finite if and only Tate's conjecture for divisors on holds and the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Albanese variety of is finite, generalizing a theorem of Artin and Grothendieck for surfaces to arbitrary relative dimension. We also give a formula relating the orders of the group under the assumption that they are finite, generalizing the formula given for a surface.
