An integer may be represented by a quadratic form over each ring of p-adic integers and over the reals without being represented by this quadratic form over the integers. More generally, such failure of a local-global principle may occur…
The aim of this paper is to give an effective version of the Strong Artin Approximation Theorem for binomial equations. First we give an effective version of the Greenberg Approximation Theorem for polynomial equations, then using the…
We study an analogue of the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the local-global principle for embedding problems over global fields. We will prove the analogues of several fundamental structural results. In particular we show that the (algebraic)…
Let $k$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth integral affine variety equipped with a morphism $f : X \to A^1_k$ to the affine line. Assume that all fibres of $f$ are split, for instance that they are geometrically integral. Assume that the…
We prove some new cases of real appoximation for homogeneous spaces with finite stabilizers and describe the state of the art around this question, giving proofs that are well-known to experts but that, to our knowledge, cannot be found in…
Let $K/k$ be an extension of number fields, and let $P(t)$ be a quadratic polynomial over $k$. Let $X$ be the affine variety defined by $P(t) = N_{K/k}(\mathbf{z})$. We study the Hasse principle and weak approximation for $X$ in three…
For algebraic stacks over number fields, we define their Brauer-Manin sets, Brauer-Manin pairings, and extend the descent theory of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. By extending Sansuc's exact sequence, we show the torsionness of Brauer…
For every fibration $f : X \to B$ with $X$ a compact K\"ahler manifold, $B$ a smooth projective curve, and a general fiber of $f$ an abelian variety, we prove that $f$ has an algebraic approximation.
We report on our experiments and theoretical investigations concerning weak approximation and the transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction for special Kummer surfaces.
This note gives an explicit example of transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. It has two features which the only previously known example of such obstruction did not have: the class in the Brauer group which is…
Let X be a toric variety over a number field k with \kbar[X]^\times=\kbar^\times. Let W\subset X be a closed subset of codimension at least 2. We prove that X\setminus W satisfies strong approximation with algebraic Brauer--Manin…
We study the strong approximation for classifying stacks $BG$, where $G$ is a linear algebraic group over a number field $k$. More specifically, we prove that the \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong…
We study Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and to weak approximation on algebraic surfaces over number fields.
Let k be a number field. For a variety X over k that satisfies weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction, we study the same property for smooth projective models of its symmetric products. Based on the same method, we also explore…
Gallagher's theorem describes the multiplicative diophantine approximation rate of a typical vector. We establish a fully-inhomogeneous version of Gallagher's theorem, a diophantine fibre refinement, and a sharp and unexpected threshold for…
Let $k$ be a number field. We construct homogeneous spaces of $SL_{n,k}$ with finite nilpotent non-abelian stabilizers for which the Brauer-Manin obstruction does not explain the failure of strong approximation (resp. the failure of the…
This article introduces and studies the tight approximation property, a property of algebraic varieties defined over the function field of a complex or real curve that refines the weak approximation property (and the known cohomological…
In this paper, we study the properties of weak approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction and the Hasse principle with Brauer-Manin obstruction for surfaces with respect to field extensions of number fields. We assume a conjecture of M.…
