Weak approximation on Ch\^{a}telet surfaces

Number Theory 2022-06-22 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We study weak approximation for Ch\^{a}telet surfaces over number fields when all singular fibers are defined over rational points. We consider Ch\^{a}telet surfaces which satisfy weak approximation over every finite extension of the ground field. We prove many of these results by showing that the Brauer-Manin obstruction vanishes, then apply results of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Sansuc, and Swinnerton-Dyer.
