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-...

$\DeclareMathOperator\Pic{Pic}$If $A$ is a ring, then we know that $\Pic(A)=\Pic(A_\text{red})$, but for a scheme $X$ it is false in general. On the other hand, we have that $\Pic(X)=H^{1}_{et}(X,\...

In the theory of reductive algebraic groups, there is the following map (notation: $G$ reductive over an algebraically closed field, $T$ a maximal torus, $B$ a Borel, $X(T)$ the characters of $T$, $...

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p \geq 0$. Let $X$ be a smooth Fano variety over $k$ and let $\ell \neq p$ be a prime. Is the natural morphism $\mathrm{Pic}(X) \otimes \...

Given $\phi:X\rightarrow Y$ a surjective morphism of $k$-algebraic varieties ($k$ separably closed), I wanted to find how the write an exact sequence involving Pic(X) and Pic(Y). We can use the long ...

I would like to calculate Picard groups of certain schemes over fields; I'm mostly interested in the question whether $Pic(X)$ is infinitely $l$-divisible, i.e. whether $Pic(X)/l=0$, $l$ is a prime ...
