The local-global principle for integral points on stacky curves

Number Theory 2020-06-02 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We construct a stacky curve of genus 1/21/2 (i.e., Euler characteristic 11) over Z\mathbb{Z} that has an R\mathbb{R}-point and a Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-point for every prime pp but no Z\mathbb{Z}-point. This is best possible: we also prove that any stacky curve of genus less than 1/21/2 over a ring of SS-integers of a global field satisfies the local-global principle for integral points.
