Abstract
We study the arithmetic of the twist of the Fermat quartic defined by which has no -rational point. We calculate the Mordell--Weil group of the Jacobian variety explicilty. We show that the degree part of the Picard group is a free -module of rank , whereas the Mordell--Weil group is a free -module of rank . Thus the relative Brauer group is non-trivial. We also show that this quartic violates the local-global property for linear determinantal representations.
