Summary: Given a torsor \(P\) under a principally polarised abelian scheme \(J\), projective over a Noetherian base, we use the Picard scheme of \(P\) to write down an explicit extension of \(\mathbb{Z}\) by \(J\) giving the class of \(P\). As an application, we give a version of Bhatt's period-index result valid over an arbitrary Noetherian base.
