Abstract

Let kk be a number field and XX a smooth integral affine variety equipped with a morphism f:XAk1f : X \to A^1_k to the affine line. Assume that all fibres of ff are split, for instance that they are geometrically integral. Assume that the generic fibre of ff is a homogeneous space of a simply connected, almost simple, semisimple group G/k(t)G/k(t), and that the geometric stabilizers are connected reductive groups. Let vv be a place of kk such that the fibration ff acquires a rational section over the completion kvk_v at vv. Assume moreover that at almost all points xA1(kv)x \in A^1(k_v) the specialized group GxG_x is isotropic over kvk_v. If the Brauer group of XX is reduced to the Brauer group of kk, then strong approximation holds for XX away from the place vv.

Comments

(July 16th, 2013) The summary is correct, but as Dasheng Wei pointed out to us, there was a mistake in a proof in the previous versions of the paper. Section 3 has been rewritten. Alongside with a technique from earlier papers by the second named author, a new technical tool is Proposition 3.4, which combines strong approximation with a specific proof of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem
