Abstract
The author presents a formula for the order of a component of the Brauer group of an abelian variety over a finite field, where the order of the component in question is relatively prime to the characteristic of the field. For principally polarized abelian surfaces this formula becomes the well-known Artin-Tate formula. A natural nondegenerate pairing between the components of the Brauer groups of an abelian variety and its Picard variety is constructed.Bibliography: 27 titles.
