We establish the Hasse principle for smooth projective quartic hypersurfaces of dimension greater than or equal to 28 defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
We prove new cases of the Hasse principle for Kummer surfaces constructed from 2-coverings of Jacobians of genus 2 curves, assuming finiteness of relevant Tate--Shafarevich groups. Under the same assumption, we deduce the Hasse principle…
We give a geometric proof that Hasse principle holds for the following varieties defined over global function fields: smooth quadric hypersurfaces in odd characteristic, smooth cubic hypersurfaces of dimension at least $4$ in characteristic…
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 with $X(\mathbb{A}_k)\neq \emptyset$ or non-trivial Brauer group, then $X$…
We establish the Hasse Principle for systems of r simultaneous diagonal cubic equations whenever the number of variables exceeds 6r and the associated coefficient matrix contains no singular r x r submatrix, thereby achieving the…
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,…
When all ternary cubic forms over $\mathbb Z$ are ordered by the heights of their coefficients, we show that a positive proportion of them fail the Hasse principle, i.e., they have a zero over every completion of $\mathbb Q$ but no zero…
We establish new upper bounds on the number of failures of the integral Hasse principle within the family of Markoff type cubic surfaces $x^2+ y^2+ z^2- xyz= a$ with $|a|\leq A$ as $A\to \infty$. Our bound improves upon existing work of…
We prove a stronger form of our previous result that Schinzel's Hypothesis holds for $100\%$ of $n$-tuples of integer polynomials satisfying the usual necessary conditions, where the primes represented by the polynomials are subject to…
It is known that the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle is vacuous for smooth Fano hypersurfaces of dimension at least $3$ over any number field. Moreover, for such varieties it follows from a general conjecture of…
We study stable rationality properties of conic bundles over rational surfaces.
We investigate the Hasse principle for complete intersections cut out by a quadric and cubic hypersurface defined over the rational numbers.
Quadric hypersurfaces are well-known to satisfy the Hasse principle. However, this is no longer true in the case of the Hasse principle for integral points, where counter-examples are known to exist in dimension 1 and 2. This work explores…
We show that for an irreducible cubic $f\in\mathbb Z[x]$ and a full norm form $\mathbf N(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ for a number field $K/\mathbb Q$ satisfying certain hypotheses the variety $f(t)=\mathbf N(x_1,\ldots,x_k)\ne 0$ satisfies the Hasse…
We resolve Schinzel's Hypothesis (H) for $100\%$ of polynomials of arbitrary degree. We deduce that a positive proportion of diagonal conic bundles over $\mathbb{Q}$ with any given number of degenerate fibres have a rational point, and…
We prove that the Hasse principle holds for cubic threefolds with 9 singular points over a number field.
In this paper, we consider the following problem: Does there exist a cubic surface over $\mathbb{Q}$ which contains no line over $\mathbb{Q}$, yet contains a line over every completion of $\mathbb{Q}$? This question may be interpreted as…
Let $F$ be a global field, let $\vp \in \Fx$ be a rational map of degree at least 2, and let $\a \in F$. We say that $\a $ is periodic if $\vpn (\a) = \a$ for some $n \geq 1$. A Hasse principle is the idea, or hope, that a phenomenon which…
Working on Berkovich analytic curves, we propose a geometric approach to the study of the Hasse principle over function fields of curves defined over a complete discretely valued field. Using it, we show the Hasse principle to be verified…
We construct new examples of cubic surfaces, for which the Hasse principle fails. Thereby, we show that, over every number field, the counterexamples to the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme of non-singular cubic…
