Abstract

Let kk be a number field. In the spirit of a result by Yongqi Liang, we relate the arithmetic of rational points over finite extensions of kk to that of zero-cycles over kk for Kummer varieties over kk. For example, for any Kummer variety XX over kk, we show that if the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for rational points on XX over all finite extensions of kk, then the (22-primary) Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for zero-cycles of any given odd degree on XX over kk. We also obtain similar results for products of Kummer varieties, K3 surfaces and rationally connected varieties.
