We relate the Brauer group of a smooth variety over a p-adic field to the geometry of the special fibre of a regular model, using the purity theorem in \'etale cohomology. As an illustration, we describe how the Brauer group of a smooth del…

Let $k$ be a number field and let $\pi \colon X \rightarrow\mathbb{P}_k^1$ be a smooth conic bundle. We show that if $X/k$ has four geometric singular fibers and either $X(\mathbb{A}_k)\neq \emptyset$ or $X/k$ has non-trivial Brauer group,…

We construct an analogue of the classical descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc in which algebraic tori are replaced with finite supersolvable groups. As an application, we show that rational points are dense in the Brauer-Manin…

Let k be a field, X a smooth, projective k-variety. If X is geometrically rational, there is an injective map from the quotient of Brauer groups Br(X)/Br(k) into the first Galois cohomology group of the lattice given by the geometric Picard…

We give a new proof of the theorem stating that for any connected linear algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0 and for any closed connected subgroup H of G, the unramified Brauer group of G/H vanishes.

For a quasi-projective smooth geometrically integral variety over a number field $k$, we prove that the iterated descent obstruction is equivalent to the descent obstruction. This generalizes a result of Skorobogatov, and this answers an…

We analyze the Brauer-Manin obstruction to rational points on the K3 surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ given by double covers of $\mathbb{P}^2$ ramified over a diagonal sextic. After finding an explicit set of generators for the geometric Picard…

Let E and E' be elliptic curves over Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field K and let Y=Kum(ExE') be the minimal desingularisation of the quotient of ExE' by the action of -1. We study the…

We prove that for a large class of subvarieties of abelian varieties over global function fields, the Brauer-Manin condition on adelic points cuts out exactly the rational points. This result is obtained from more general results concerning…

A quasi-representation of a group is a map from the group into a matrix algebra (or similar object) that approximately satisfies the relations needed to be a representation. Work of many people starting with Kazhdan and Voiculescu, and…

We prove a general likely intersections theorem, a counterpart to the Zilber-Pink conjectures, under the assumption that the Ax-Schanuel property and some mild additional conditions are known to hold for a given category of complex quotient…

Let $X$ be a projective and smooth variety over a field $k$. The goal of this paper is to prove that the cokernel of the canonical map $Br(X)\to Br(X_{k^s})^{G_k}$ has a finite exponent. Both groups are natural invariants arising from…

We prove some new relations between weak approximation and some rational equivalence relations (Brauer and R-equivalence) in algebraic groups over arithmetical fields. By using weak approximation and local - global approach, we compute…

We prove Gieseker conjecture for an homogeneous space $X$, saying that if $X$ has no non-trivial tame coverings then it has no non-trivial regular singular $\mathscr{O}_X$-coherent $\mathscr{D}_{X/k}$-modules. In order to do so we prove a…

We study Bredon homology approximations for spaces with an action of a compact Lie group G. We show that if M is a coMackey functor satisfying mild p-locality conditions, then Bredon homology of a G-space X with coefficients in M is…

Olsson showed in [Ols25] that if $\mathcal{X} \to X$ is a $\mathbf{G}_m$-gerbe over a smooth projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ such that the Brauer class of $\mathcal{X}$ has order prime to the characteristic of $k$,…

Let $X$ be a weakly pseudoconvex manifold and $L\longrightarrow X$ be a holomorphic line bundle with a singular positive Hermitian metric $h$. In this article, we provide a points separation theorem and an embedding for the adjoint linear…

Let X be a smooth variety over a number field k embedded as a degree d subvariety of $\mathbb{P}^n$ and suppose that X is a counterexample to the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. We consider the question of whether…

For any pencil of conics or higher-dimensional quadrics over the rationals, with all degenerate fibres defined over the rationals, we show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction controls weak approximation. The proof is based on the Hasse…
