Arithmetic Surjectivity for Zero-Cycles

Algebraic Geometry 2023-05-22 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

Let f:XYf:X\to Y be a proper, dominant morphism of smooth varieties over a number field kk. When is it true that for almost all places vv of kk, the fibre XPX_P over any point PY(kv)P\in Y(k_v) contains a zero-cycle of degree 11? We develop a necessary and sufficient condition to answer this question. The proof extends logarithmic geometry tools that have recently been developed by Denef and Loughran-Skorobogatov-Smeets to deal with analogous Ax-Kochen type statements for rational points.
