Abstract

Let X\mathcal X be a regular variety, flat and proper over a complete regular curve over a finite field, such that the generic fiber XX is smooth and geometrically connected. We prove that the Brauer group of X\mathcal X is finite if and only Tate's conjecture for divisors on XX holds and the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Albanese variety of XX 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.
