Abstract:
Let be a field and its Brauer group. If is a field extension, then the relative Brauer group is the kernel of the restriction map . A subgroup of is called an algebraic relative Brauer group if it is of the form for some algebraic extension . In this paper, we consider the -torsion subgroup consisting of the elements of killed by , where is a positive integer, and ask whether it is an algebraic relative Brauer group. The case is already interesting: the answer is yes for squarefree, and we do not know the answer for arbitrary. A counterexample is given with a two-dimensional local field and .
