Abstract:
It is a classical problem to relate the period and index of a Brauer class. Over semi-global fields, i.e., function fields over complete discretely valued fields, local-global principles have been a powerful tool in answering this question. In this talk, we consider an analog of the period-index problem for higher cohomology classes in place of Brauer classes. (Joint work with David Harbater and Daniel Krashen.)
