Let $q$ be any prime $\equiv 7 \mod 16$, $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$, and let $H$ be the Hilbert class field of $K$. Let $A/H$ be the Gross elliptic curve defined over $H$ with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of $K$. We prove…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ ($q$ is odd) and let $K=\mathbb{F}_q(C)$ be its function field. Removing one closed point $C^\text{af} = C-\{\infty\}$ results in an integral domain…

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…

The existence of rational points on Kummer varieties associated to 2-coverings of abelian varieties over number fields can sometimes be proved through the variation of the Selmer group in the family of quadratic twists of the underlying…

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…

We study the integral Brauer--Manin obstruction for affine diagonal cubic surfaces, which we employ to construct the first counterexamples to the integral Hasse principle in this setting. We then count in three natural ways how such…

We consider equations of the form $a_{1}x_{1}^{k}+...+a_{s}x_{s}^{k}$ and when they have solutions in the primes. We define an analogue of the Hasse principle for solubility in the primes (which we call the prime Hasse principle), and prove…

We determine the structure of the obstruction group of the Hasse norm principle for a finite separable extension $K/k$ of a global field of degree $d$, where $d$ has a square-free prime factor $p$ and a $p$-Sylow subgroup of the Galois…

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 use an explicit description of the Brauer-Manin obstruction, recently obtained by Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, to study the density of varieties in a certain family which do not satisfy the Hasse principle.

In $2000$, Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Poonen showed how to construct algebraic families of genus one curves violating the Hasse principle. Poonen explicitly constructed an algebraic family of genus one cubic curves violating the Hasse…

Let $K=\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is a prime congruent to $3$ modulo $4$. Let $A=A(q)$ denote the Gross curve. Let $E=A^{(-\beta)}$ denote its quadratic twist, with $\beta=\sqrt{-q}$. The curve $E$ is defined over the Hilbert class field…

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…

Let $A$ be a finite, abelian group. We show that the density of $A$-extensions satisfying the Hasse norm principle exists, when the extensions are ordered by discriminant. This strengthens earlier work of Frei--Loughran--Newton \cite{FLN},…

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…

We establish the Hasse principle for $100\%$ of conic bundles over $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{Q}}$.

Fix $k,s,n\in \mathbb N$, and consider non-zero integers $c_1,\ldots ,c_s$, not all of the same sign. Provided that $s\ge k(k+1)$, we establish a Hasse principle for the existence of lines having integral coordinates lying on the affine…

We develop a theory of canonical isogeny characters of Drinfeld-Stuhler modules similar to the theory of canonical isogeny characters of abelian surfaces with quaternionic multiplication. We then apply this theory to give explicit criteria…

In a recent paper, Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Parimala and Suresh conjectured that a local-global principle holds for projective homogeneous spaces of connected linear algebraic groups over function fields of p-adic curves. In this paper, we show…

In this article we develop counterexamples to the Hasse principle using only techniques from undergraduate number theory and algebra. By keeping the technical prerequisites to a minimum, we hope to provide a path for nonspecialists to this…
