Hasse principle for three classes of varieties over global function fields

Algebraic Geometry 2018-02-21 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

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 44 in characteristic at least 77, and smooth complete intersections of two quadrics of dimension at least 33 in odd characteristics. In Appendix A we explain how to modify a previous argument of the author to prove weak approximation for cubic hypersurfaces defined over function fields of curves over algebraically closed fields of characteristic at least 77. In Appendix B we prove some corollaries of Koll\'ar's results on the fundamental group of separably rationally connected varieties.
