Non-Surjectivity of the Universal Torsor Evaluation Map for Homogeneous Spaces
Abstract
Let be a field of characteristic zero, let be a connected linear -algebraic group, and let be a connected closed subgroup of . Let be a smooth compactification of , and let be the universal -torsor with trivial fibre over the class of the identity of . Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Kunyavski\u{\i} have shown that is a flasque torus, and that the evaluation map , induced by the universal torsor, is surjective when the field is 'good'; and the same is true when we restrict the evaluation map to the -points of . In this article, we establish that in cases where the field is not 'good', surjectivity may fail when the domain is . We provide two concrete examples: one over a field of cohomological dimension and the other over an arithmetic field, such as .
