Spinor groups with good reduction

Abstract: Let

K

be a 2-dimensional global field of characteristic

e q 2

, and let

V

be a divisorial set of places of

K

. We show that for a given

n g e q s l a n t 5

, the set of

K

-isomorphism classes of spinor groups

G = m a t h r m {S p i n}_{n} (q)

of nondegenerate

n

-dimensional quadratic forms over

K

that have good reduction at all

v i n V

, is finite. This result yields some other finiteness properties, such as the finiteness of the genus

m a t h b f {g e n}_{K} (G)

and the properness of the global-to-local map in Galois cohomology. The proof relies on the finiteness of the unramified cohomology groups

H^{i} (K, m u_{2})_{V}

for

i g e q s l a n t 1

established in the paper. The results for spinor groups are then extended to some unitary groups and to groups of type

e x t s f G_{2}

.
