Abstract

Let XX be a closed subvariety of an abelian variety AA over a global function field kk such that the base change of AA to an algebraic closure does not have any positive dimensional isotrivial quotient. We prove that every adelic point on XX which is the limit of a sequence of kk-rational points on AA is a limit of kk-rational points on XX. Assuming finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich group of AA, this implies that the rational points on XX are dense in the Brauer set of XX. Similar results are obtained over totally imaginary number fields, conditionally on an adelic Mordell-Lang conjecture.
