Remarks on Brauer-Manin obstruction for Weil restrictions

Number Theory 2026-04-14 v1

Abstract

Given a finite extension K/kK/k of number fields and a smooth quasi-projective variety XX over KK. If the abelianized fundamental group of XX is trivial, we prove that there is a natural identification between Brauer-Manin sets of XX and its Weil restriction RK/kXR_{K/k}X. If XX is projective and Pic(X×Kk)Pic(X\times_{K}\overline{k}) is a torsion-free abelian group, we prove that there is a natural identification between algebraic Brauer-Manin sets of XX and RK/kXR_{K/k}X.
