Arithmetic of rational points and zero-cycles on Kummer varieties

Abstract

Let kk be a number field, let XX be a Kummer variety over kk, and let δ\delta be an odd integer. In the spirit of a result by Yongqi Liang, we relate the arithmetic of rational points over finite extensions of kk to that of zero-cycles over kk for XX. For example, we show that if the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of rational points on XX over all finite extensions of kk, then the 22-primary Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of a zero-cycle of degree δ\delta on XX over kk.
