The period-index problem over the complex numbers
Speaker: James Hotchkiss (University of Michigan)
Title: The period-index problem over the complex numbers
Abstract: The period-index problem for the Brauer group of a field asks, briefly, how the size of a division algebra is constrained by its order in the Brauer group. I will describe a Hodge-theoretic interpretation of the problem for complex function fields, and explain some consequences for the integral Hodge conjecture and for Brauer groups.
Footnote: We will again be going for lunch and dinner with the speaker and anyone who is interested in joining us should let Joshua know. The talk will start a few minutes late in case there is an Algebraic Geometry seminar prior to this event.
