We construct unramified central simple algebras representing 2-torsion classes in the Brauer group of a hyperelliptic curve, and show that every 2-torsion class can be constructed this way when the curve has a rational Weierstrass point or…

Let X be a smooth double cover of a geometrically ruled surface defined over a separably closed field of characteristic different from 2. The main result of this paper is a finite presentation of the 2-torsion in the Brauer group of X with…

We use twisted relative Picard varieties to split Brauer classes on projective varieties over algebraically closed fields by torsors for a fixed abelian scheme independent of the Brauer class. The construction is also used to prove that the…

For a $p$-adic curve $X$, we study conditions under which all classes in the $n$-torsion of $Br(X)$ are $\mathbb{Z}/n$-cyclic. We show that in general not all classes are $\mathbb{Z}/n$-cyclic classes. On the other hand, if $X$ has good…

For a smooth and proper variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the group $Br(X)[p^\infty]$ is a direct sum of finitely many copies of $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$ and an abelian group of finite exponent.…

We derive a formula for the unramified Brauer group of a general class of rationally connected fourfolds birational to conic bundles over smooth threefolds. We produce new examples of conic bundles over P^3 where this formula applies and…

We establish a formula for computing the unramified Brauer group of tame conic bundle threefolds in characteristic 2. The formula depends on the arrangement and residue double covers of the discriminant components, the latter being governed…

Let k be a field, G a smooth connected linear algebraic group and X a homogeneous space of G over k, such that the geometric stabilizers are extensions of a smooth group of multiplicative type by a smooth connected characterfree group. If k…

We prove the existence of noncrossed product and indecomposable division algebras over the function field of a smooth p-adic curve, especially when the curve does not admit a smooth model over Z_p. Thus we generalize arXiv 0907.0670. To…

We study the Brauer class rising from the obstruction to the existence of tautological line bundles on the Picard scheme of curves. We determine the period and index of the Brauer class in certain cases.

Let $X$ be a smooth proper curve defined over a field $k$. The representability of the relative Picard functor is obstructed by a class $\alpha\in\mathrm{Br}(\mathrm{Pic}_{X/k})$. We show the associated division algebra on…

Let $S$ be a certain affine algebraic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that it admits a regular map to $\mathbb{A}^2/\mathbb{Q}$. We show that any non-trivial torsion line bundle in the relative Picard group $Pic^0\left(S/\mathbb{A}^2\right)$…

For conic bundles on a smooth variety (over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$) which degenerate into pairs of distinct lines over geometric points of a smooth divisor, we prove a theorem which relates the Brauer class of the non-degenerate…

This article focuses on smooth, projective, and geometrically integral varieties $X$ defined over a number field $k$ with torsion-free geometric Picard groups. We establish an isomorphism between the Brauer groups of $X$ and its symmetric…

In this paper we show that the l^n-torsion part of the cohomological Brauer groups of certain schemes associated to symmetric powers of a projective smooth curve over a separably closed field k are isomorphic, when `l is invertible in k.…

Over a normal base scheme, we prove the generalized Theorem of the Cube for 1-motives and that a torsion class of the group H^2_\'et(M,G_m)$ of a 1-motive M, whose pull-back via the unit section is zero, comes from an Azumaya algebra. In…

Esnault-Viehweg developed the theory of cyclic branched coverings $\tilde X\to X$ of smooth surfaces providing a very explicit formula for the decomposition of $H^1(\tilde X,\mathbb{C})$ in terms of a resolution of the ramification locus.…

We study $p$-torsion Brauer classes in positive characteristic arising from differential forms. We relate this construction to the Brauer group of supersingular K3 surfaces and analyze the contribution of these classes to the Brauer-Manin…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and $X$ a smooth proper $K$-variety with good reduction. Under a mild assumption on the behaviour of Hodge numbers under reduction modulo $p$, we prove that the existence of a non-zero global…

We prove that the $p^\infty$-torsion of the transcendental Brauer group of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$ is bounded. This answers a (variant of a) question asked by Skorobogatov and Zarhin for…
