This article focuses on smooth, projective, and geometrically integral varieties $X$ defined over a number field $k$ with torsion-free geometric Picard groups. We establish an isomorphism between the Brauer groups of $X$ and its symmetric…
We show that certain Tate--Shafarevich groups are unramified which enables us to give an obstruction to the Hasse principle for torsors under tori over p-adic function fields.
We provide a relation between Brauer-Manin obstruction and descent obstruction for torsors over open varieties under a connected linear algebraic group or a group of multiplicative type is given. Such a relation is further refined for…
In 2011, V\`arilly-Alvarado and the last author constructed an Enriques surface $X$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with an \'etale-Brauer obstruction to the Hasse principle and no algebraic Brauer-Manin obstruction. In this paper, we show that the…
We use the Brauer-Manin obstruction to strong approximation on a punctured affine cone to explain a curious property of coprime integer solutions to a homogeneous Diophantine equation.
Following Bright and Newton, we construct an explicit K$3$ surface over the rational numbers having good reduction at 2, and for which 2 is the only prime at which weak approximation is obstructed.
Let $k$ be a global field and let $L_0$,...,$L_m$ be finite separable field extensions of $k$. In this paper, we are interested in the Hasse principle for the multinorm equation $\underset{i=0}{\overset{m}{\prod}}N_{L_i/k}(t_i)=c$. Under…
Let X be a homogeneous space, X = G/H, where G is a connected linear algebraic group over a number field k, and H is a k-subgroup of G (not necessarily connected). Let S be a finite set of places of k. We compute the Brauer-Manin…
We generalise a result of Heath-Brown and Skorobogatov to show that a certain class of varieties over a number field $k$ satisfies Weak Approximation and the Hasse Principle, provided there is no Brauer-Manin obstruction.
It is conjectured that the Brauer--Manin obstruction is expected to control the existence of 0-cycles of degree 1 on smooth proper varieties over number fields. In this paper, we prove that the existence of Brauer--Manin obstruction to…
Given any global field k of characteristic 2, we construct a Chatelet surface over k which fails to satisfy the Hasse principle. This failure is due to a Brauer-Manin obstruction. This construction extends a result of Poonen to…
Let $X$ be a rationally connected algebraic variety, defined over a number field $k$. We find a relation between the arithmetic of rational points on $X$ and the arithmetic of zero-cycles. More precisely, we consider the following…
Given a family of varieties $X\to \mathbb{P}^n$ over a number field $k$, we determine conditions under which there is a Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation for $100\%$ of the fibres which are everywhere locally soluble.
These lecture notes give an introduction to the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of rational points, focusing on the interplay between theory and computation.
Given a variety with a suitable Brauer class, we present a general pullback construction that produces varieties that has Brauer--Manin obstruction to the existence of rational points. We then study Severi--Brauer fibrations and their…
We study the strong approximation for classifying stacks $BG$, where $G$ is a linear algebraic group over a number field $k$. More specifically, we prove that the \'etale Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to strong…
Let $k$ be a number field and let $T$ be a $k$-torus. Consider a fibration in torsors under $T$, i.e. a morphism $f: X \to \mathbb{P}^1_k$ from a smooth, projective $k$-variety $X$ to $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ such that the generic fibre $X_\eta \to…
We generalise Birch's seminal work on forms in many variables to handle a system of forms in which the degrees need not all be the same. This allows us to prove the Hasse principle, weak approximation, and the Manin-Peyre conjecture for a…
We establish the Hasse principle and the weak approximation property for certain homogeneous spaces of $\mathrm{SL}_n$ whose geometric stabilizer is of nilpotency class 2, which were constructed by Borovoi and Kunyavski\u{\i}. These…
We show, conditionally on Schinzel's hypothesis, that the only obstruction to the integral Hasse principle for generalised affine Ch\^{a}telet surfaces is the Brauer--Manin one.
