Abstract Using the theory of cohomological invariants for algebraic stacks, we compute the Brauer group of the moduli stack of hyperelliptic curves ${\mathcal {H}}_g$ over any field of characteristic $0$ . In positive characteristic, we compute the part of the Brauer group whose order is prime to the characteristic of the base field.

AbstractUsing weighted Delsarte surfaces, we give examples of K3 surfaces in positive characteristic whose formal Brauer groups have height equal to 5, 8 or 9. These are among the four values of the height left open in the article of Yui [11].

For a [Formula: see text] surface over a field of characteristic [Formula: see text] which is finitely generated over its prime subfield, we prove that the cokernel of the natural map from the Brauer group of the base field to that of the [Formula: see text] surface is finite modulo the [Formula: see text]-primary torsion subgroup. In characteristic different from [Formula: see text], such results were previously proved by Skorobogatov and Zarhin. We basically follow their methods with an extra care in the case of superspecial [Formula: see text] surfaces using the recent results of Kim and Madapusi Pera on the Kuga-Satake construction and the Tate conjecture for [Formula: see text] surfaces in characteristic [Formula: see text].

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

In 2009, T. Ekedahl introduced certain cohomological invariants for finite groups. In this work we present these invariants and we give an equivalent definition that does not involve the notion of algebraic stacks. Moreover we show certain properties for the class of the classifying stack of a finite group in the Kontsevich value ring.

In this paper, we formulate and prove a duality for cohomology of curves over perfect fields of positive characteristic with coefficients in Néron models of abelian varieties. This is a global function field version of the author’s previous work on local duality and Grothendieck’s duality conjecture. It generalizes the perfectness of the Cassels–Tate pairing in the finite base field case. The proof uses the local duality mentioned above, Artin–Milne’s global finite flat duality, the nondegeneracy of the height pairing and finiteness of crystalline cohomology. All these ingredients are organized under the formalism of the rational étale site developed earlier.
