Abstract:
Let $X_K$ be a proper, smooth and geometrically connected curve over a global field $K$. In this paper we generalize a formula of Milne relating the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Jacobian of $X_K$ to the order of the Brauer group of a proper regular model of $X_K$. We thereby partially answer a question of Grothendieck.

Keywords: Brauer groups, Tate-Shafarevich groups, Jacobian variety, index of a curve, period of a curve, Cassels-Tate pairing
