Computing unramified Brauer groups

Presenter
June 10, 2026
Abstract
The unramified Brauer groups of classifying stacks of finite groups encode subtle arithmetic information (conjectural leading constants in Malle's conjecture, local-global analogues of the inverse Galois problem) and are highly difficult to compute in general. I will present explicit formulas for these groups, together with an effective algorithm for calculating them. Some families of examples illustrating the method will be given.
