Unramified cohomology and Brauer--Manin pairing
Abstract
We show that the Tate module of the ℓ-adic unramified cohomology H3nr(X, Qℓ/Zℓ) of a smooth projective surface X over a local or strictly local field k of residue characteristic prime to ℓ vanishes under suitable conditions. We apply this to answer some questions concerning the left and right kernels of the Brauer--Manin pairing for open subvarieties of X. To prove the vanishing theorem, we establish Bloch's formula for the Chow group of codimension-two cycles on a semistable model of X, and derive applications to the restriction map for such cycles to the closed fiber of the model.
