Infinite rank vector bundles and applications

Abstract: This is a report on joint work with Johan de Jong and Minseon Shin. Grothendieck famously asked whether the Brauer group and cohomological Brauer group of a scheme coincide, a question which still lacks a good answer. Modern methods reduce this question to a question about the existence of non-zero vector bundles of finite rank on certain stacks. I will discuss what happens if one allows vector bundles of infinite rank, and how this infinite-rank version of the question is related to the resolution property for schemes. I will also discuss some basic questions about vector bundles of infinite rank on varieties, including the potential existence of some mysterious invariants.
