Abstract:
We compute the theory of for any proabelian group , using a natural isomorphism with the group of continuous alternating forms. We use this to establish a sort of generic behavioral ideal, or role model, for the Brauer group Br of a geometric field of characteristic zero. We show this ideal is attained in several interesting cases.
