Abstract

It is known that, under a necessary non-compactness assumption, the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only one to strong approximation on homogeneous spaces XX under a linear group GG (or under a connected algebraic group, under assumption of finiteness of a suitable Tate-Shafarevich group), provided that the geometric stabilizers of XX are connected. In this work we prove, under similar assumptions, that the \'etale-Brauer-Manin obstruction to strong approximation is the only one for homogeneous spaces with arbitrary stabilisers. We also deal with some related questions, concerning strong approximation outside a finite set of valuations. Finally, we prove a compatibility result, suggested to be true by work of Cyril Demarche, between the Brauer-Manin obstruction pairing on quotients G/HG/H, where GG and HH are connected algebraic groups and HH is linear, and certain abelianization morphisms associated with these spaces.
