The étale index equals the index over iterated Laurent series fields
The étale index equals the index over iterated Laurent series fields
Let be an iterated Laurent series field over the complex numbers, and let . Here denotes the étale index and the index of the Brauer class.
Étale-index conjecture.
The conjecture concerns equality of the étale index and the index over -local fields of this form. The source gives supporting evidence from a result of Becher and Hoffman bounding the index by a power of the period, but does not state that the conjecture is resolved.
