On almost strong approximation for linear algebraic groups

Number Theory 2025-12-03 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let GG be a connected linear algebraic group over a number field KK. In this article, we study the almost strong approximation property (ASA) of GG raised by Rapinchuk and Tralle. Building on Demarche's results on strong approximation with Brauer-Manin obstruction, we introduce a necessary and sufficient condition for (ASA) to hold in terms of the Brauer group of GG. Using the criteria, we conclude that (ASA) can be completely controlled by the Dirichlet density of the places and the splitting field of GG, which generalizes a result of Rapinchuk and Tralle.
