摘要

We use twisted relative Picard varieties to split Brauer classes on projective varieties over algebraically closed fields by torsors for a fixed abelian scheme independent of the Brauer class. The construction is also used to prove that the index of an unramified Brauer class divides a fixed power of its period.
