<p>Let <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> be a complete local ring, <formula notation="TeX">S = \mathrm{Spec}(A)</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">U = S - \{s\}</formula> the
complement of the closed point of <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>. We wish to interprete the Picard group
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(U)</formula> as the group <formula notation="TeX">P(k)</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>-valued points of a group-scheme
<formula notation="TeX">P</formula> defined over the residue field <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">A</formula>. Assume for simplicity that <formula notation="TeX">U</formula>
is regular, and that there exists a resolution of singularities for <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> not
changing <formula notation="TeX">U</formula>, i.e. a proper morphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">f \colon X \longrightarrow S</formula>
inducing an isomorphism <formula notation="TeX">f^{-1}(U) \simeq U</formula>, such that <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> be regular and
equal to the closure of <formula notation="TeX">f^{-1}(U)</formula> (this open set will be identified with
<formula notation="TeX">U</formula>). Let <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> be the special fiber of <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>, so that
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">U = X - X_0 .</formula>
Because <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> is regular, we have an exact sequence
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{1} D \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pic}(X) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pic}(U) \longrightarrow 0 ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
where <formula notation="TeX">D</formula> is the group of divisors on <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> concentrated on <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> (which is a
free group of finite type <formula notation="TeX">\underline{Z}^I</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">I</formula> being the set of irreducible
components of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>). On the other hand, by the existence theorem for coherent
sheaves, it is known that
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{2} \mathrm{Pic}(X) \simeq \varprojlim_n \mathrm{Pic}(X_n) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
where <formula notation="TeX">X_n = X \times_S S_n</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">S_n = \mathrm{Spec}(A/\underline{m}^{n+1})</formula>.
Assume we can find group schemes <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula> over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> and isomorphisms
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{3} \mathrm{Pic}(X_n) \xrightarrow{\ \sim\ } P_n(k) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
and transition morphisms <formula notation="TeX">P_m \to P_n</formula> (<formula notation="TeX">m \geq n</formula>) compatible with the
transition morphisms for the <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(X_n)</formula>. Denoting by <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> the
pro-group <formula notation="TeX">(P_n)</formula>, or if one prefers, in case the transition morphisms
<formula notation="TeX">P_m \to P_n</formula> are affine, the inverse limit (EGA IV 8) of the <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula>, we get a
pro-group scheme resp. a group-scheme <formula notation="TeX">P</formula>, and an isomorphism</p>
<pb n="3" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=4"/><p><formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{4} \mathrm{Pic}(X) \xrightarrow{\ \sim\ } P(k) .
\end{equation*}</formula>
The map <formula notation="TeX">D \to \mathrm{Pic}(X) \simeq P(k)</formula> défines a morphism of (pro) groups
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{5} D_k \longrightarrow P ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
where <formula notation="TeX">D_k</formula> is the constant group-scheme with value <formula notation="TeX">D</formula>. Assuming that the
cokernel of (5) exists in any reasonable sense a a pro-group scheme or a
group-scheme, let <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> be this kernel.<note type="editorial" resp="#pass">sic : « kernel » pour le conoyau qui vient d'être nommé</note> We get, in virtue of (1), an
injective homomorphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{6} \mathrm{Pic}(U) \hookrightarrow Q(k) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
the obstruction for an element of <formula notation="TeX">Q(k)</formula> to be in the image being in
<formula notation="TeX">H^1(k, D'_k)</formula>, where <formula notation="TeX">D'_k</formula> is the image of <formula notation="TeX">D_k</formula> in <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> (it is again a
constant group, with value a quotient <formula notation="TeX">D'</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">D</formula>). <del>If</del>
<add>If <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is sep. closed, or if</add> <formula notation="TeX">D'</formula> is torsion-free, for example is <formula notation="TeX">D'</formula>
is equal to <formula notation="TeX">D</formula> i.e. (5) is injective, then this obstruction vanishes, and
<del>Q is a good candidate</del> (6) is an isomorphism. Thus <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> looks a good
candidate for a ``local Picard scheme''.</p>
<p>To construct the <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula>'s, assume first that <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is a <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>-algebra, i.e. that
a lifting of <del>the</del> <add>the</add> residue field <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> exists, and has been
choosen. Then the natural candidate for <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula> (the only one I could think of,
indeed!) would be
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{7} P_n = \underline{\mathrm{Pic}}_{X_n/k} .
\end{equation*}</formula>
We know from Murre that the right had side is indeed representable by a scheme
locally of finite type over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>. There is however the usual trouble that we
have indeed a canonical <hi rend="italic">injective</hi> morphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{8} \mathrm{Pic}(X_n) \hookrightarrow P_n(k) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
but in general we are not sureit is bijective. However it is if <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is
separably closed; more specifically, the obstruction for an element of
<formula notation="TeX">P_n(k)</formula> to be in the image of <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(X_n)</formula> lies in the Brauer group
<del><formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Br}(k)</formula> of <gap reason="illegible"/></del></p>
<pb n="4" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=5"/><p>of the Artin ring <formula notation="TeX">B_n = H^0(X_n, \mathcal{O}_{X_n})</formula>. Assuming <formula notation="TeX">U</formula> hence <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>
hence <formula notation="TeX">X_n</formula> to be connected, this Artin ring is local, and it's Brauer group
coincides with the Brauer group of its residue field <formula notation="TeX">k_n</formula>. Of course, for an
element of <formula notation="TeX">P(k) = \lim P_n(k)</formula>, these various obstructions match together and
come from an element of the Brauer group of the residue field
<formula notation="TeX">k' = \bigcap_n k_n</formula> of the ring
<formula notation="TeX">H^0(X, \mathcal{O}_X) = \varprojlim_n H^0(X_n, \mathcal{O}_{X_n})</formula>,
<del>of</del> which is just the normalisation of <formula notation="TeX">A</formula>. If for instance <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is
<hi rend="italic">normal</hi>, <add>then</add> <formula notation="TeX">k' = k</formula> and the obstruction lies in
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Br}(k)</formula>.</p>
<p>Whatever this be, defining <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> as before, we still do get an injective
homomorphism (6), but even if (5) is injective, we cannot be sure that (6) is
bijective. We are however if <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is separable closed. Therefore, we still can
more or less describe <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> (or at least <formula notation="TeX">Q(k)</formula>) in termes of local Picard
groups, in terms of <add>Galois</add> descent from the completion <formula notation="TeX">A'</formula> of the
strict henselization of <formula notation="TeX">A</formula>: if <formula notation="TeX">U' = S' - \{s'\}</formula>, where
<formula notation="TeX">S' = \mathrm{Spec}(A')</formula>, and if
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{9} \pi = \mathrm{Gal}(\bar{k}/k) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
we will have an isomorphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{10} Q(k) \simeq \mathrm{Pic}(U')^{\pi} ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
<del>This is perfectly true provided <formula notation="TeX">D'</formula> is torsion free, for instance (5)
injective.</del><note type="editorial" resp="#pass">ligne tapée biffée d'un trait</note>
This is perfectly natural and in accordance with the familiar phenomena when
dealing with <hi rend="italic">global</hi> Picard schemes. Therefore <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> looks like the natural
object to be called a local Picard scheme.</p>
<p>To make sure it makes a sense, one will have however to analyze somewhat the
inverse system <formula notation="TeX">(P_n)</formula>, and the morphism (5). Moreover, to feel really secure,
one should check that up to canonical isomorphism, the group scheme <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula>
together with (10) does not depend on the choice of</p>
<pb n="5" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=6"/><p>the resolution; this should not be hard whenever we have existence of
resolutions in the strong sense of Hironaka<add>, so that two resolutions can
be dominated by a third one</add>, for instance in char. 0 of if <formula notation="TeX">\dim A = 2</formula>. I
should point out that, in any case, the algebraic structure thus defined on
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(U)</formula> depends in an essential way on the choice of the lifting of
the residue field; an instructive example on which to study the dependance of
this structure on the lifting is the one where <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is the completion of the
local ring at the origin of the projecting cone of an elliptic curve (here <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula>
is isomorphic to the elliptic curve in question, for the <hi rend="italic">given</hi> lifting
of <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> …).</p>
<p>I have to correct an inaccuracy that has slipped in, when defining <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> in the
case when <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is not separably closed, so as to get (10). One will then have
to replace the constant group scheme <formula notation="TeX">D_k</formula> by the twisted constant group
scheme <formula notation="TeX">\underline{D}</formula>, deduced by descent from the constant group-scheme
occuring after passage from <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> to the separable closure.
<del>In terms of the components <formula notation="TeX">X_0^i</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>, this can be defined as
the direct image, under the morphism
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Spec}(B_{0\,\mathrm{sep}}) \to \mathrm{Spec}(k)</formula>, of the constant
sheaf <formula notation="TeX">\underline{Z}</formula> on the spectrum of the largest separable subalgebra
<formula notation="TeX">B_{0\,\mathrm{sep}}</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">B_0</formula>.</del><note type="editorial" resp="#pass">passage encadré et barré à la main ;
« the components <formula notation="TeX">X_0^i</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> » est tapé au-dessus d'une ligne biffée à la
machine, et la flèche de <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Spec}(B_{0\,\mathrm{sep}}) \to
\mathrm{Spec}(k)</formula> manque au tapuscrit</note> This can be made explicit, in terms of
the separable algebraic closures <formula notation="TeX">k_i</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> in the function fields of the
irreducible components <formula notation="TeX">X_0^i</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>, as the <del>product of the
schemes</del> direct image of the constant sheaf <formula notation="TeX">\underline{Z}</formula> under the
projection <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Spec}(\prod k_i) \to \mathrm{Spec}(k)</formula>.</p>
<p>To study the inverse system <formula notation="TeX">(P_n)</formula>, use the fact (SGA 6 XII) that the
transition morphisms are affine, which gives a sense to
<formula notation="TeX">P = \varprojlim P_n</formula> as an actual group-scheme. It's Lie algebra is the
inverse limit of the Lie algebras of the <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula>, which are
<formula notation="TeX">H^1(X_n, \mathcal{O}_{X_n})</formula>, therefore we get</p>
<pb n="6" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=7"/><p><formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{11} \underline{\mathrm{Lie}}(P) \simeq H^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X) .
\end{equation*}</formula>
As <formula notation="TeX">R^1 f_*(\mathcal{O}_X)</formula> is coherent and concentrated at the origin, it
follows that its group of sections <formula notation="TeX">H^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X)</formula> is of finite
dimension. In fact, it seems, with a little care, that replacing if necessary
<formula notation="TeX">X</formula> by a suitable model dominating it, we may assume that there exists an
<add>invertible</add> ideal <formula notation="TeX">J</formula> on <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>, defining a subscheme <formula notation="TeX">Z</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> having same
support as <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>, and such that <add><formula notation="TeX">\underline{L} =</formula></add> <formula notation="TeX">J/J^2</formula> be an
<hi rend="italic">ample sheaf on <formula notation="TeX">Z</formula></hi>. This will imply that, replacing the system
<formula notation="TeX">(X_n)_{n}</formula> by the system <formula notation="TeX">(Z_n = V(J^{n+1}))_{n}</formula>, which defines an
isomorphic pro-<del>group</del> <add>object</add> of Picard-schemes, we obtain an
inverse system of group-schemes <formula notation="TeX">P'_n = \underline{\mathrm{Pic}}_{Z_n/k}</formula>
where for large <formula notation="TeX">n</formula> the transition morphisms <formula notation="TeX">P'_{n+1} \to P'_n</formula> are
<hi rend="italic">isomorphisms</hi> (because
<formula notation="TeX">H^1(Z_0, \underline{L}^{\otimes n}) = H^2(Z_0, \underline{L}^{\otimes n}) = 0</formula>).<note type="editorial" resp="#pass">la flèche de <formula notation="TeX">P'_{n+1} \to P'_n</formula> manque au tapuscrit</note>
Thus it seems that, under the assumptions made <add>from the start</add>, one can
prove that the pro-group <formula notation="TeX">(P_n)</formula> is essentially constant, hence its inverse
limit <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> is in fact a <hi rend="italic">group scheme locally of finite type over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula></hi>.
This is certainly so, at least, if <formula notation="TeX">\dim A = 2</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> normal, as follows from
the negative definiteness of the intersection matrix of the components of
<formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>.</p>
<p>This <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> seems to be definable in quite a reasonable way, and one still has to
investigate the morphism (5) (or more accurately, the morphisme
<formula notation="TeX">\underline{D} \to P</formula> defined by descent from the case where <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is separably
closed; but then we may as well assume <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> separably closed from the start,
<add>which we will do</add>). We would be particularly happy if this were a closed
immersion, or what amounts to the same, if the morphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{12} D \longrightarrow \mathrm{NS}(X_0)
\end{equation*}</formula>
is injective, were
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{NS}(X_0) = \underline{\mathrm{NS}}_{X_0/k}(k)</formula>,
<formula notation="TeX">\underline{\mathrm{NS}} = \underline{\mathrm{Pic}} / \underline{\mathrm{Pic}}^0</formula>.
(The equivalence comes from the fact that
<formula notation="TeX">P = \underline{\mathrm{Pic}}_{Z_n/k}</formula> for some large <formula notation="TeX">n</formula>, and that
<del>Pic</del></p>
<pb n="7" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=8"/><p>as recalled above, the morphism
<formula notation="TeX">\underline{\mathrm{Pic}}_{Z_n/k} \to \underline{\mathrm{Pic}}_{X_0/k}</formula> is
affine, and hence <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{NS}(Z_n) \to \mathrm{NS}(X_0)</formula> has finite kernel.)
I expect that this is always the case, <del><gap reason="illegible"/></del> In case <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is normal
of dimension 2, this follows from Du-Val – Mumford's negative definiteness.
It would he nice to have a proof in general (perhaps through a negative
definiteness of an intersection matric <formula notation="TeX">X^i . C^j</formula>, where for every
irreducible component <formula notation="TeX">X^i</formula> of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">C^i</formula> denotes a <add>suitable</add> curve on
<formula notation="TeX">X^i</formula>, for instance defined in terms of a suitable relatively ample sheaf on
<formula notation="TeX">X</formula> by taking intersections of corresponding hypersurface sections on the
<formula notation="TeX">X^i</formula>'s ?). In case (12) is indeed injective, we have no trouble defining
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{13} Q = P/\underline{D}
\end{equation*}</formula>
as a <hi rend="italic">group-scheme locally of finite type over</hi> <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>. We then have
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{14} P^0 \xrightarrow{\ \sim\ } Q^0 ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
an isomorphism for the connected components, and
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{15} Q/Q^0 = (P/P^0)/\underline{D} \simeq \underline{\mathrm{NS}}_{Z_n/k} / \underline{D} ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
where <formula notation="TeX">n</formula> is chosen large enough. Of course (14) and (11) yield an isomorphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{16} \underline{\mathrm{Lie}}(Q) \simeq H^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X) .
\end{equation*}</formula>
Let us remark by the way that we have an <hi rend="italic">injective</hi> restriction morphism
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{17} H^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X) \hookrightarrow H^1(U, \mathcal{O}_U) = H^2_s(S)
\end{equation*}</formula>
as one sees by remarking that, with the above notations for <formula notation="TeX">J</formula>,
<formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}</formula>, <add>the sheaf</add> <formula notation="TeX">i_*(\mathcal{O}_U)/\mathcal{O}_X</formula>
(<formula notation="TeX">i \colon U \to X</formula> the inclusion) has a composition series whose quotients
are the <formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}^{-n}</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">n \geq 1</formula>, whose <formula notation="TeX">H^0</formula> is zero, and the map
(17) is just the canonical map
<formula notation="TeX">H^1(X, \mathcal{O}_X) \hookrightarrow H^1(X, i_*(\mathcal{O}_U))</formula>.<note type="editorial" resp="#pass">l'astérisque de <formula notation="TeX">i_*</formula> et la crosse de <formula notation="TeX">\hookrightarrow</formula> sont ajoutés à la main</note>
Thus, the Lie algebra of the local Picard scheme is identified with a subspace
of <formula notation="TeX">H^1(U, \mathcal{O}_U)</formula>. (This suggests that if <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is Cohen-Macaulay of
dim. <formula notation="TeX">\geq 3</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> is discrete, hence <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(U)</formula> countable etc.)</p>
<pb n="8" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=9"/><p>The previous constructions rely heavily on the existence and choice of a field
of representatives. Even this being granted, the question of caracterising <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula>
as an actual <hi rend="italic">scheme</hi> <add>over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula></add>, i.e. as a functor on the category
of <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>-algebras, has not been touched. In fact, the description I can give of
this functor is <add>(tautological, and is)</add> in terms of a particular choice of
a resolution <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>, and it really gives <del>rather</del> a description of <formula notation="TeX">P</formula>
rather than <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula>. One then still has to define <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> as the cokernel of the silly
morphism <formula notation="TeX">\underline{D} \to P</formula>. As a matter of fact, even if we restrict to
arguments <formula notation="TeX">k'</formula> which are, say, finite extensions of <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> (but not necessarily
separable ones), I cannot describe <formula notation="TeX">Q(k')</formula> in terms of local Picard groups of
local rings as <formula notation="TeX">A' = A \hat{\otimes}_k k'</formula>. The trouble, of course, is that
<formula notation="TeX">X \otimes_k k'</formula> will in general no longer be a resolution of <formula notation="TeX">S'</formula>, i.e. it
will no longer be regular. However, such geometric descriptions will be
possible provided we take as arguments algebras which are
<del>smooth of formally smooth</del> <add>geometrically regular</add> over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>, so
that tensoring with them will not destroy the regularity of <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>. (Thus, the
case when <formula notation="TeX">k'</formula> is a power series ring, for instance the completion of the
local ring of <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> at the origin, <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> being smooth, is of interest …) Let's
now try to be specific. By defintion <add>more or less,</add> for any
<add>affine</add> scheme <formula notation="TeX">T</formula> over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>, we have
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{18} P(T) = \varprojlim P_n(T) \hookleftarrow \varprojlim_n \mathrm{Pic}(X_{n_T}) \text{\add{$/\mathrm{Pic}(T)$}}
\qquad (X_{n\,T} = X_n \times_k T) .
\end{equation*}</formula>

<formula notation="TeX">H^1(T, \mathcal{O}_T) = H^2(T, \mathcal{O}_T) = 0</formula></note>
In fact, it is not hard to check that the left hand side functor is the étale
sheaf (on <formula notation="TeX">(\mathrm{Sch})_{/k}</formula>) associated to the right-hand side functor.
This comes from the more precise statement that the obstruction, for an
element of <formula notation="TeX">P(T)</formula>, to come from an element of
<formula notation="TeX">\varprojlim_n \mathrm{Pic}(X_{nT})</formula>, lies in
<formula notation="TeX">H^2(T_{\text{ét}}, \underline{G}_m)</formula> (at least for <formula notation="TeX">T</formula> affine, which is used
to insure that it's <formula notation="TeX">H^1</formula> and <formula notation="TeX">H^2</formula> with values in <formula notation="TeX">\mathcal{O}_T</formula> vanish.
For simplicity, I have assumed here that <formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is normal). As we have
seen<note type="editorial" resp="#pass">dans (18), « (18) », la flèche <formula notation="TeX">\hookleftarrow</formula>, le <formula notation="TeX">n</formula> sous la

<pb n="9" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=10"/><p>on the other hand that <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> is locally of finite presentation over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>, it
commutes (as a functor) to filtering direct limits of rings, and therefore it
is known when we know it's restriction to arguments which are of finite type
over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>, and a fortiori noetherian. For such <add>(i.e. noetherian)</add>
arguments, using the existence theorem for coherent sheaves, we can give a
more geometric expression for the right hand side of (18), <del>namely</del>
Assume for simplicity <formula notation="TeX">T = \mathrm{Spec}(B)</formula> affine, and let
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">C = A \hat{\otimes}_k B = \lim A_n \otimes_k B ,</formula>
which is an adic noetherian ring augmented to <formula notation="TeX">B</formula> (the augmentation ideal
being an ideal of definition). Consider <del><gap reason="illegible"/></del>
<add><formula notation="TeX">X \hat{\otimes}_k B</formula></add> <formula notation="TeX">= X \otimes_A C</formula>, which is a proper scheme over
<formula notation="TeX">C</formula>. We then have
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{19} \mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B) \simeq \varprojlim_n \mathrm{Pic}(X_{nB}) ,
\end{equation*}</formula>
<del><gap reason="illegible"/></del> <add><formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B)/\mathrm{Pic}(B) \hookrightarrow P(B)</formula></add>
and thus on <hi rend="italic">noetherian</hi> arguments <formula notation="TeX">B</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">P</formula> appears as the étale sheaf
associated to the functor
<formula notation="TeX">B \mapsto \mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B)</formula><add><formula notation="TeX">/\mathrm{Pic}(B)</formula></add>,
<add>which is a separated presheaf,</add> this statement being complemented by the
description given above of the group for obstructions for an element of <formula notation="TeX">P(B)</formula>
to belong to <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B)</formula>.</p>
<p>As for <formula notation="TeX">B \mapsto Q(B)</formula>, this appears as the étale sheaf associated with the
functor
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{20} B \longmapsto \mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B)/\bigl(\text{\add{$\mathrm{Pic}(B) +$}}\, \underline{D}(B)\bigr) \quad (\hookrightarrow Q(B))
\end{equation*}</formula>
where <formula notation="TeX">\underline{D}</formula> is the twisted constant group over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> defined above.
For an element of <formula notation="TeX">Q(B)</formula> to belong to the first hand side there are two
successive obstructions, the first is in <formula notation="TeX">H^1(\mathrm{Spec}(B), \underline{D})</formula>,
which vanishes <add>for instance</add> if <formula notation="TeX">\underline{D}</formula> is constant (for instance
<formula notation="TeX">k</formula> separably closed) and <formula notation="TeX">B</formula> normal, the second is in the Brauer group of
<formula notation="TeX">B</formula>, and vanishes <add>for instance</add> if <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> has a zero-cycle of degree 1.</p>
<p>Assume for simplicity that the irreducible components of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> are</p>
<pb n="10" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=11"/><p>geometrically irreducible, i.e. <formula notation="TeX">\underline{D}</formula> is constant, and assume <formula notation="TeX">B</formula>
geometrically regular over <formula notation="TeX">k</formula>. This second condition implies that
<formula notation="TeX">X \hat{\otimes}_k B</formula> is regular, and denoting by <formula notation="TeX">U \hat{\otimes}_k B</formula> the
inverse image of <formula notation="TeX">U</formula> in this scheme, <del>the first condition</del> this
together with the first condition implies that
<del>the left hand side of (20)</del>
<add><formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(X \hat{\otimes}_k B)/D(B)</formula></add> is isomorphic to
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(U \hat{\otimes}_k B)</formula>. This shows that on the sub-category of
arguments <formula notation="TeX">B</formula> which are noetherian and geometrically regular, <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula> is the étale
sheaf associated to the presheaf
<formula notation="TeX" rend="display">\begin{equation*}
\tag{21} B \longmapsto \mathrm{Pic}(U \hat{\otimes}_k B)\text{\add{$/\mathrm{Pic}(B)$}} \quad (\hookrightarrow Q(B)) .
\end{equation*}</formula>
The obstruction for an element of <formula notation="TeX">Q(B)</formula> to belong to
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Pic}(U \hat{\otimes}_k B)</formula><add><formula notation="TeX">/\mathrm{Pic}(B)</formula></add> is in the Brauer
group <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Br}(B)</formula>. Thus, under very stringent conditions on <formula notation="TeX">B</formula> at least
(being geometrically regular) we get a description of <formula notation="TeX">Q(B)</formula> in terms of
actual local Picard groups. I should have stated that <formula notation="TeX">U \hat{\otimes}_k B</formula>
can also be interpreted as the inverse image of <formula notation="TeX">U</formula> in the scheme
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{Spec}(A \hat{\otimes}_k B)</formula>, and thus makes a sense independently of
the choice of a particular resolution.</p>
<p>One may wish to construct a local Picard scheme <del>without</del> also in case
<formula notation="TeX">A</formula> is not equi-caracteristic, which implies that <formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{car}.\,k &gt; 0</formula>. It
seems likely that this can be done if <formula notation="TeX">k</formula> is perfect. The key-point here is
the construction of schemes <formula notation="TeX">P_n</formula>, which leads us to the following</p>

This of course may not be representable, even if <formula notation="TeX">A = k</formula>. However, it may turn
out that the fppf sheaf associated to this functor is representable, and this
then would give the looked for candidate for <formula notation="TeX">P</formula>. In any case, Artin's work
gives us a very handy set of necessary and sufficient conditions for a group
functor to be representable by a scheme locally of finite type, and in
principle it should be possible to decide wether or not the
<del>functor</del> sheaf just considered satisfies to these conditions or not.
If so, one may expect that the developments on local Picard schemes given for
the case when there is a field of representatives will carry over to the case

<pb n="12" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=13"/><p>In the construction of a local Picard scheme <formula notation="TeX">Q</formula>, we have seemed to use in a

also without this assumption (provided that a field of representatives is

of a resolution of singularities, one may then wish to find a proper

<p>Dear Murre,</p>
<p>I am glad to hear that you are still willing to give the talk on unramified
functors. Here what I can say to your questions.</p>
<p>1. The theorem about passage to quotient I alluded to is the following:</p>
<p><hi rend="italic">Theorem</hi>. Let <formula notation="TeX">f \colon X \to Y</formula> be a morphisme of <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>-preschemes,
assume either <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> and <formula notation="TeX">Y</formula> <del>of</del> <add>locally</add> finite presentation over
<del><formula notation="TeX">Y</formula></del> <formula notation="TeX">S</formula><note type="editorial" resp="#pass">lecture du <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> surchargé sous réserve</note>, or <formula notation="TeX">Y</formula> loc noeth
and <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> <add>locally</add> of finite type over <formula notation="TeX">Y</formula>. Assume that the equivalence
relation <add><formula notation="TeX">R =</formula></add> <formula notation="TeX">X \times_Y X</formula> defined by <formula notation="TeX">f</formula> is flat over <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> i.e. 
<formula notation="TeX">\mathrm{pr}_1 \colon X \times_Y X \to X</formula> is flat. Then the quotient <formula notation="TeX">X/R</formula>
exists in the strongest reasonable sense, i.e. one can factor <formula notation="TeX">f</formula> into a
compositum <formula notation="TeX">X \to Z \to Y</formula>, with <formula notation="TeX">X \to Z</formula> faithfully flat locally of finite
presentation, <formula notation="TeX">Z</formula> locally of finite <del>type</del> <add>pres.</add> over
<del><formula notation="TeX">S</formula></del> <formula notation="TeX">Y</formula><note type="editorial" resp="#pass">lecture sous réserve de la lettre surchargée</note> (in fact
of finite presentation over <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> if <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> is so) and <formula notation="TeX">Z \to Y</formula> a
monomorphism.<note type="editorial" resp="#pass">les flèches de <formula notation="TeX">X \to Z \to Y</formula> et de <formula notation="TeX">X \to Z</formula> manquent au
tapuscrit</note></p>
<p>Of course the factorization is unique, andthe theorem can be expressed by
saying that the quotient sheaf (for the fpqc topology) <formula notation="TeX">X/R</formula> is
representable. That is in fact how the theorem is proved.</p>
<p>Raynaud has recently made a very nice (and non trivial) application of this
theorem, by proving the following: if <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> is the spectrum of a discrete
valuation ring, <formula notation="TeX">G</formula> a group prescheme of finite type over <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>, <formula notation="TeX">H</formula> a closed
<add>and flat</add> sub-group scheme, such that <formula notation="TeX">G_t/H_t</formula> is <del>affine</del>
quasi-affine (where <formula notation="TeX">t</formula> is the generic point of <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>) then <formula notation="TeX">G/H</formula> is
representable as a quasi-affine and flat <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>-scheme, which is even affine if
<formula notation="TeX">H</formula> is invariant (i.e. if <formula notation="TeX">G</formula> is a flat group scheme of finite type with
affine generic fibre, than <formula notation="TeX">G</formula> is affine). This extends immediately to a base
which is regular of dim one. Raynaud is now trying to extend his construction
to the case when he drops the quasi-affinness assumption, namely to construct
still <formula notation="TeX">G/H</formula></p>
<pb n="20" facs="https://grothendieck.umontpellier.fr/57.pdf#page=21"/><p>as a quasi-projective scheme over <formula notation="TeX">S</formula>.</p>
<p>2. Theorem of the cube. I believe we discussed about it time ago, but maybe
the proof I told you was valid only if one assumes the Pic functor of one of
the <del><gap reason="illegible"/></del> <add>factors</add> involved representable. To prove
unramifiedness of the functor <formula notation="TeX">\underline{\mathrm{Corr}}</formula> however you need
only a week infinitesimal form of the theorem of the square, for which you
will find a proof in the manuscript notes I am joining on correspondance
classes, containing also the proofs of the statements you were recalling in
your question 4. I hope you will be able to read them, I agree the
handwriting is wretched and the notes moreover very sketchy. – On the other
hand, I recall you that the theorem of the cube follows rather formally once
one knows separatedness of <formula notation="TeX">\underline{\mathrm{Corr}}_S(X,Y)</formula> for two of the
three factors involved, and using the usual formal properties of the Picard
functor (among which commutation with inverse limits of Artin rings is the
less trivial).</p>
<p>3. As for the separatedness of <formula notation="TeX">\underline{\mathrm{Corr}}_S(X,Y)</formula>, this is
about trivial whenever the Pic functor of one of the factors <formula notation="TeX">X,Y</formula> is
separated? Now this is certainly the case for <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> if its geometric fibers are
integral, (a fortiori if <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> is an abelian scheme over <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> !). To show this,
one may assume <formula notation="TeX">S</formula> the spectrum of a <add>discrete</add> valuation ring, and one is
reduced to show that if <formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}</formula> is an invertible sheaf on <formula notation="TeX">X</formula> whose
restriction to the general fiber <formula notation="TeX">X_t</formula> is trivial, then <formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}</formula> is
trivial. Now <formula notation="TeX">X_1</formula> is an open subset of <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>, and the assumption on
<formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}</formula> can be expressed by saying that <formula notation="TeX">\underline{L}</formula> is defined by
a Cartier divisor whose support is contained in the special fiber <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula>. Now
<formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> itself is already a Cartier divisor (defined by a global equation
<formula notation="TeX">t = 0</formula>) and moreover is an integral subscheme of <formula notation="TeX">X</formula>, from this follows that
the divisor <formula notation="TeX">D</formula> is a multiple of <formula notation="TeX">X_0</formula> (assume for
