Weak approximation and rationally connected varieties over function fields of curves

Algebraic Geometry 2010-08-17 v1

Abstract

This is a survey of weak approximation over complex function fields, touching on the Koll'ar-Miyaoka-Mori theorem, places of good and bad reduction, the special case of rational surfaces, rationally simply connected varieties, and applications to low-degree complete intersections.
