Picard scheme of varieties over imperfect fields
Let $k$ be a field and $X$ a proper $k$-scheme. It is a theorem of Murre and Oort that the Picard functor is representable by a $k$-group scheme $\operatorname{Pic}_{X/k}$ which is locally of finite ...

p-torsion in the Picard group of a regular projective curve
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$ and $C$ a regular projective geometrically integral curve over $K$.
If $C$ is smooth, then the connected component ${\rm Pic}^0_C$ of the Picard scheme of ...

Do Neron-Severi groups of smooth projective unirational varieties contain $\ell$-torsion?
Let $X$ be a smooth projective unirational variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and $\ell\neq p$ a prime. My question: can the Neron-Severi group of $X$ contain (non-...
