In this paper, we produce new results in each of three directions. We obtain quite general results under the assumption that K/k is abelian (as opposed to cyclic in earlier investigation).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-06-05T23:51:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G35", "14G05" ], "keywords": [ "brauer-manin obstruction", "number fields", "field extension k/k", "quite general results", "unramified brauer group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.4115W" } } }
