Abstract:
Given a Brauer class over a field, what types of varieties split it? Or more geometrically, can we say anything about the varieties that map to a given Brauer-Severi variety? In this talk, we will discuss some open questions related to splitting Brauer classes and work by many people in the last decade on this problem.
