Elliptic Fibrations and Hilbert Property

Abstract

For a number field KK, an algebraic variety X/KX/K is said to have the Hilbert Property if X(K)X(K) is not thin. We are going to describe some examples of algebraic varieties, for which the Hilbert Property is a new result. The first class of examples is that of smooth cubic hypersurfaces with a KK-rational point in Pn/K\mathbb{P}_n/K, for n3n \geq 3. These fall in the class of unirational varieties, for which the Hilbert Property was conjectured by Colliot-Th\'el\`ene and Sansuc. We then provide a sufficient condition for which a surface endowed with multiple elliptic fibrations has the Hilbert Property. As an application, we prove the Hilbert Property of a class of K3 surfaces, and some Kummer surfaces.
