Abstract

Let F be the function field of a smooth curve over the p-adic number field Qp. We show that for each prime-to-p number n the n-torsion subgroup H2(F,μn)=n Br(F) is generated by ℤ/n-cyclic classes; in fact the ℤ/n-length is equal to two. It follows that the Brauer dimension of F is three (first proved by Saltman), and any F-division algebra of period n and index n2 is decomposable.
