A cohomological obstruction to weak approximation for homogeneous spaces

Number Theory 2021-01-05 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let X be a homogeneous space, X = G/H, where G is a connected linear algebraic group over a number field k, and H is a k-subgroup of G (not necessarily connected). Let S be a finite set of places of k. We compute the Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation for X in S in terms of Galois cohomology.
