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 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 study del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 of the form w^2 = z^3 + Ax^6 + By^6 in the weighted projective space P_k(1,1,2,3), where k is a perfect field of characteristic not 2 or 3 and A,B \in k^*. Over a number field, we exhibit an infinite…

Let X be a homogeneous space, X = G/H, where G is a connected linear algebraic group over a number field k, and H is a k-subgroup of G (not necessarily connected). Let S be a finite set of places of k. We compute the Brauer-Manin…

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…

Let $X$ be a cubic surface over a global field $k$. We prove that a Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of $k$-points on $X$ will persist over every extension $L/k$ with degree relatively prime to $3$. In other words, a cubic surface…
