A Brauer group of a double covering of a "well-understood" variety
Let $k$ be a field (it is possible to assume that $k = \mathbb{Q}$ or $= \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$) and $X, Y$ nice varieties over $k$.
Let $f \colon Y \to X$ be a finite flat surjective morphism of ...

Vanishing of the local étale cohomology sheaf (?)
Let $X$ be a locally noetherian regular scheme, and let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of $X$ whose codimension $d > 0$ at every point.
Let $U$ be the complement of $Z$ in $X$.
For a sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ ...

Do $PGL_n$-torsors induce elements of the Brauer group
Let $K$ be a field and let $n\geq 2$. If $n=2$, then the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of $PGL_n$-torsors is in bijection with the $n$-torsion of the Brauer group of $K$.
Is this only for $n=2$?
Is ...
