The period-index problem in WC-groups IV: a local transition theorem
Let be a complete discretely valued field with perfect residue field . Assuming upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over , we deduce corresponding upper bounds on the relation between period and index for WC-groups over . Up to a constant depending only on the dimension of the torsor, we recover theorems of Lichtenbaum and Milne in a “duality free” context. Our techniques include the use of LLR models of torsors under abelian varieties with good reduction and...
