Abstract
In this paper we study the existence of rational points for the family of K3 surfaces over given by When the coefficients are ordered by height, we show that the Brauer group is almost always trivial, and find the exact order of magnitude of surfaces for which there is a Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle. Our results show definitively that K3 surfaces can have a Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle that is only explained by odd order torsion.
