Under certain hypotheses, we obtain a five-term exact sequence involving the preceding groups which enables us to solve the indicated problem in the case of, e.g., (certain types of) ruled varieties.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-14T14:34:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14F22", "14F20" ], "keywords": [ "brauer group", "five-term exact sequence", "arbitrary morphism", "relative units-picard complex", "hypotheses" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
