The Brauer-Manin obstruction for stacky curves

Algebraic Geometry 2023-01-16 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

We show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong approximation for all stacky curves over global fields with finite abelian fundamental groups. This includes all stacky curves of genus g=12g = \frac{1}{2}, thus explaining a recent counterexample to the Hasse principle of Bhargava-Poonen. We will furthermore show that the elementary obstruction is the only obstruction to the integral Hasse principle for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus g<1g < 1. We then compute the Brauer-Manin obstruction for smooth proper integral models of stacky curves of genus 12\frac{1}{2}.
