Let K be a field. Let A be a central simple algebra over K and let X be the associated Brauer-Severi variety over K. It has recently been asked if there exists a genus 1 curve C over K such that K(C) splits A. In other words, is there a genus one curve C over K with a morphism to X? In this short note, we explicitly construct such a curve in the case where X has dimension at most 4 (equivalently, when A has degree at most 5).

Splitting Brauer classes using the universal Albanese
• Mathematics
• L’Enseignement Mathématique
• 2021
We prove that every Brauer class over a field splits over a torsor under an abelian variety. If the index of the class is not congruent to 2 modulo 4, we show that the Albanese variety of any smoothExpand
Twisted Hilbert schemes and division algebras
Let X /S be any Severi–Brauer scheme of constant relative dimension n over a Noetherian base scheme S. For each polynomial φ(t) ∈ Q[t], we construct a scheme Hilb φ(t)(X /S) that étale locally, on aExpand
Explicit descent on elliptic curves and splitting Brauer classes
• Mathematics
• 2021
We prove new results on splitting Brauer classes by genus 1 curves, settling in particular the case of degree 7 classes over global fields. Though our method is cohomological in nature, and proceedsExpand
Ulrich bundles on Brauer-Severi varieties
We prove the existence of Ulrich bundles on any Brauer--Severi variety. In some cases, the minimal possible rank of the obtained Ulrich bundles equals the period of the Brauer--Severi variety.Expand

Relative Brauer groups of genus 1 curves
• Mathematics
• 2007
In this paper we develop techniques for computing the relative Brauer group of curves, focusing particularly on the case where the genus is 1. We use these techniques to show that the relative BrauerExpand
Index reduction for Brauer classes via stable sheaves (with an appendix by Bhargav Bhatt)
• Mathematics
• 2007
We use twisted sheaves to study the problem of index reduction for Brauer classes. In general terms, this problem may be phrased as follows: given a field $k$, a $k$-variety $X$, and a class \$\alphaExpand
