We prove that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the Hasse principle for homogeneous spaces with nilpotent stabilizer. We thus generalize recent results by Harpaz and Wittenberg on finite "hyper-solvable" stabilizers.…

Given a variety with a suitable Brauer class, we present a general pullback construction that produces varieties that has Brauer--Manin obstruction to the existence of rational points. We then study Severi--Brauer fibrations and their…

We consider the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of integral points on affine surfaces defined by $x^2 - ay^2 = P(t)$ over a number field. We enumerate the possibilities for the Brauer groups of certain families of such surfaces,…

Questions related to Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and weak approximation for homogeneous spaces of tori over a number field are well-studied, generally using arithmetic duality theorems, starting with works of Sansuc and…

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…

In this paper, for a smooth variety equiped with an action of a connected algebraic group (not necessary linear), we introduce the notion of invariant Brauer sub-group and the notion of invariant \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction. Then we…

In this paper, we study weak approximation with Brauer--Manin obstruction with respect to extensions of number fields. For any nontrivial extension $L/K,$ assuming a conjecture of M. Stoll, we prove that there exists a $K$-threefold…

In this paper we study the existence of rational points for the family of K3 surfaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ given by $$w^2 = A_1x_1^6 + A_2x_2^6 + A_3x_3^6.$$ When the coefficients are ordered by height, we show that the Brauer group is almost…

We describe descent on families of torsors of a constant torus. A recent result of Browning and Matthiesen then implies that the Brauer--Manin obstruction controls the Hasse principle and weak approximation when the ground field is the…
