Scientific paper

In this paper we introduce two new ways to split ramification of Brauer classes on surfaces using stacks. Each splitting method gives rise to a new moduli space of twisted stacky vector bundles. By studying the structure of these spaces we prove new results on the standard period-index conjecture. The first yields new bounds on the period-index relation for classes on curves over higher local fields, while the second can be used to relate the Hasse principle for forms of moduli spaces of stable vector bundles on pointed curves over global fields to the period-index problem for Brauer groups of arithmetic surfaces. We include an appendix by Daniel Krashen showing that the local period-index bounds are sharp.
