Abstract
Given a cubic curve over a number field, we consider the K3 surface constructed as the minimal desingularisation of the quotient of by an automorphism of order 3. We relate the transcendental Brauer groups of and , allowing us to explicitly compute the former group in the case of a diagonal cubic curve defined over . We obtain conjectural insight on the existence of Galois cubic points over for everywhere locally soluble diagonal cubic curves.
