Are local fields $C_{2}$?

We say that a field $K$ is $C_{m}$ if it satisfies the following property: for every positive integer $n$ and every sequence of positive integers $(d_{1},\dotsc,d_{r})$ satisfying $d_{1}^{m} + \dotsb …

Is the Brauer group functor a Zariski sheaf?

For any scheme $X$, let $\operatorname{Br}X$ denote the (Azumaya) Brauer group of $X$, namely the Morita equivalence classes of Azumaya $\mathcal{O}_{X}$-algebras. Is the functor $$\operatorname{B …

Gerbes on the multiplicative group

I believe the answer is "yes, such a gerbe is necessarily trivial". We first note that for any field $K$ and open subscheme $U$ of $\mathbb{A}^{1}_{K}$, the inclusion $\operatorname{Br}(U) \subseteq …

Brauer groups of a local ring and of its residue field

This is a question of DeMeyer (see the last paragraph of [1]): What's an example of a local ring $A$ with residue field $k$ such that the restriction map on Brauer groups $\varphi : \operatorname{ …
