From Curves to Brauer Groups
Speaker:
Gerhard Frey, University of Duisburg-Essen
Date and Time:
Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 3:30pm to 4:30pm
Location:
Fields Institute, Room 230
Abstract:
In the second lecture we describe the Lichtenbaum-Tate pairing and explain why Brauer groups of local fields are closely related to torsion points of (generalized) Jacobian varieties over finite fields. This includes theoretical as well as computational aspects.
