Abstract

Let KK be a complete discrete valued field with residue field kk and FF the function field of a curve over KK. Let A2Br(F)A \in {}_2Br(F) be a central simple algebra with an involution σ\sigma of any kind and F0=FσF_0 =F^{\sigma}. Let hh be an hermitian space over (A,σ)(A, \sigma) and G=SU(A,σ,h)G = SU(A, \sigma, h) if σ\sigma is of first kind and G=U(A,σ,h)G = U(A, \sigma, h) if σ\sigma is of second kind. Suppose that char(k)2\text{char}(k) \neq 2 and ind(A)4(A)\leq 4. Then we prove that projective homogeneous spaces under GG over F0F_0 satisfy a local-global principle for rational points with respect to discrete valuations of FF.
