Brumer–Rosen conjecture on primary components of Brauer groups

Let FF be a field and let (BrF)p(\operatorname{Br}F)_p denote the pp-primary component of its Brauer group. Brumer–Rosen conjecture. For each prime pp, one of the following holds:

  1. (BrF)p=0(\operatorname{Br}F)_p=0.
  2. (BrF)p(\operatorname{Br}F)_p contains a nonzero divisible subgroup.
  3. p=2p=2 and (BrF)2(\operatorname{Br}F)_2 is an elementary abelian 22-group.

This conjecture would imply that finite nonzero Brauer groups are 22-groups of the indicated elementary abelian type; the source gives no general resolution.
