Abstract
We consider generalizations of a celebrated theorem of
Merkurjev--every 2-torsion Brauer class is represented by the Clifford
algebra of a quadratic form--to base schemes other than fields.
Parimala, Scharlau, and Sridharan showed that over smooth complete
p-adic hyperelliptic curves, the validity of Merkurjev`s theorem is
equivalent to the existence of a rational theta characteristic. The
main result we`ll discuss is that over smooth complete p-adic curves
or surfaces over finite fields, considering the Clifford invariants of
quadratic forms with values in line bundles yields a generalized form
of Merkurjev`s theory in complete generality.
