Recent works of Cadoret, Hui and Tamagawa show that, if $X$ satisfies the $\\ell$-adic Tate conjecture for divisors for every prime $\\ell\\neq p$, the Galois invariant subgroup $Br(X_{\\overline k})[p']^{\\pi_1(k)}$ of the prime-to-$p$ torsion of the geometric Brauer group of $X$ is finite. The main result of this note is that, for every integer $d\\geq 1$, there exists a constant $C:=C(X,d)$ such that for every finite field extension $k \\subseteq k'$ with $[k':k]\\leq d$ and every $(\\overline k/k')$-form $Y$ of $X$ one has $|(Br(Y\\times_{k'}\\overline k)[p']^{\\pi_1(k')}|\\leq C$. The theorem is a consequence of general results on forms of compatible systems of $\\pi_1(k)$-representations and it extends to positive characteristic a recent result of Orr and Skorobogatov in characteristic zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-03-05T16:37:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "positive characteristic", "uniform boundedness", "galois invariant subgroup", "adic tate conjecture", "geometric brauer group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
