For Ch\^atelet surfaces defined over number fields, we study two arithmetic properties, the Hasse principle and weak approximation, when passing to an extension of the base field. Generalizing a construction of Y. Liang, we show that for an…
Quadric hypersurfaces are well-known to satisfy the Hasse principle. However, this is no longer true in the case of the Hasse principle for integral points, where counter-examples are known to exist in dimension 1 and 2. This work explores…
We investigate the family of surfaces defined by the affine equation $$Y^2 + Z^2 = (aT^2 + b)(cT^2 +d)$$ where $\vert ad-bc \vert=1$ and develop an asymptotic formula for the frequency of Hasse principle failures. We show that a positive…
We construct new examples of cubic surfaces, for which the Hasse principle fails. Thereby, we show that, over every number field, the counterexamples to the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme of non-singular cubic…
In this paper, we construct three kinds of Ch\^atelet surfaces, which have some given arithmetic properties with respect to field extensions of number fields. We then use these constructions to study the properties of weak approximation…
We discuss the geometry and arithmetic of higher-dimensional analogues of Ch\^atelet surfaces; namely, we describe the structure of their Brauer and Picard groups and show that they can violate the Hasse principle. In addition, we use these…
We investigate the Hasse principle for complete intersections cut out by a quadric and cubic hypersurface defined over the rational numbers.
For a large class of isotrivial rational elliptic surfaces (with section), we show that the set of rational points is dense for the Zariski topology, by carefully studying variations of root numbers among the fibers of these surfaces. We…
We generalize L.J. Mordell's construction of cubic surfaces for which the Hasse principle fails.
We study the integral Brauer--Manin obstruction for affine diagonal cubic surfaces, which we employ to construct the first counterexamples to the integral Hasse principle in this setting. We then count in three natural ways how such…
We construct an Enriques surface X over Q with empty \'etale-Brauer set (and hence no rational points) for which there is no algebraic Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle. In addition, if there is a transcendental obstruction on…
Building on work of Segre and Koll'ar on cubic hypersurfaces, we construct over imperfect fields of characteristic p\geq 3 particular hypersurfaces of degree p, which show that geometrically rational schemes that are regular and whose…
An upper bound of the expected order of magnitude is established for the number of rational points of bounded height on Ch\^atelet surfaces defined over the rationals.
In studying rational points on elliptic K3 surfaces of the form $f(t)y^2=g(x)$, where $f,g$ are cubic or quartic polynomials (without repeated roots), we introduce a condition on the quadratic twists of two elliptic curves having…
We construct a (smooth, projective) surface over the field of rational numbers, which is a counterexample to the Hasse principle not accounted for by the Manin obstruction. The construction relies on the classical 4-descent on elliptic…
The Nash problem on arcs for normal surface singularities states that there are as many arc families on a germ (S,O) of a singular surface as there are essential divisors over (S,O). It is known that this problem can be reduced to the study…
We show that, over every number field, the degree four del Pezzo surfaces that violate the Hasse principle are Zariski dense in the moduli scheme.
The surface $z^2=ay^2+P(x), \, a \in k, \, P(x) \in k[x]$ is not $k$-rational, if $a \not\in k^2$ and $P(x)$ satisfies some conditions. This result essentially due to Iskovskih but his statement is in terms of algebraic geometry, and not so…
We establish new upper bounds on the number of failures of the integral Hasse principle within the family of Markoff type cubic surfaces $x^2+ y^2+ z^2- xyz= a$ with $|a|\leq A$ as $A\to \infty$. Our bound improves upon existing work of…
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 $4$ in characteristic…
