Abstract:
We define a generalization of the Brauer group $\mathrm{H}_{B}^{n} (X)$ for an equi-dimensional scheme $X$ and $n>0$. In the case where $X$ is the spectrum of a local ring of a smooth algebra over a discrete valuation ring, $\mathrm{H}_{B}^{n}(X)$ agrees with the étale motivic cohomology $\mathrm{H}^{n+1}_{\mathrm{\acute{e}t}}\left(X, \mathbb{Z}(n-1)\right)$. We prove (a part of) the Gersten-type conjecture for the generalized Brauer group for a local ring of a smooth algebra over a mixed characteristic discrete valuation ring and an isomorphism $\mathrm{H}_{B}^{n}\left(R \right) \simeq \mathrm{H}_{B}^{n}\left(k\right)$ for a henselian local ring $R$ of a smooth algebra over a mixed characteristic discrete valuation ring and the residue field $k$ of $R$. As an application, we show local-global principles for Galois cohomology groups over function fields of smooth curves over a mixed characteristic excellent henselian discrete valuation ring.

Keywords: Brauer group, Gersten's conjecture, local-global principle.
