On a Shimura Curve That Is a Counterexample to the Hasse Principle

چکیده
Let X be the Shimura curve corresponding to the quaternion algebra over ramified only at 3 and 13. B. Jordan showed that X ( √ −13) is a counterexample to the Hasse principle. Using an equation of X found by A. Kurihara, it is shown here, by elementary means, that X has no ( √ −13)-rational divisor classes of odd degree. A corollary of this is the fact that this counterexample is explained by the Manin obstruction.

Counterexamples to the Hasse Principle
This article explains the Hasse principle and gives a self-contained development of certain counterexamples to this principle. The counterexamples considered are similar to the earliest counterexample discovered by Lind and Reichardt. This type of counterexample is important in the theory of elliptic curves: today they are interpreted as nontrivial elements in Tate– Shafarevich groups.
متن کاملAn “anti-hasse Principle” for Prime Twists
Given an algebraic curve C/Q having points everywhere locally and endowed with a suitable involution, we show that there exists a positive density family of prime quadratic twists of C violating the Hasse principle. The result applies in particular to wN -Atkin-Lehner twists of most modular curves X0(N) and to wp-Atkin-Lehner twists of certain Shimura curves XD+.
متن کاملOn the Hasse Principle for Shimura Curves
Let C be an algebraic curve defined over a number field K, of positive genus and without K-rational points. We conjecture that there exists some extension field L over which C violates the Hasse principle, i.e., has points everywhere locally but not globally. We show that our conjecture holds for all but finitely many Shimura curves of the form XD 0 (N)/Q or X D 1 (N)/Q, where D > 1 and N are c...
متن کاملCounterexamples to the Hasse Principle: an Elementary Introduction
We give an elementary, self-contained exposition concerning counterexamples to the Hasse Principle. Our account, which uses only techniques from standard undergraduate courses in number theory and algebra, focusses on counterexamples similar to the original ones discovered by Lind and Reichardt. As discussed in an appendix, this type of counterexample is important in the theory of elliptic curv...
متن کاملBeyond the Manin Obstruction
Br(X)/Br0(X)×X(Ak) → Q/Z. We shall call this the Brauer–Manin pairing. Let us define X(Ak) Br as “the right kernel” of this pairing, that is, the subset of points of X(Ak) orthogonal to all elements of Br(X). Manin made an important observation that by the global reciprocity law the image ofX(k) under the diagonal embedding X(k) →֒ X(Ak) is contained in X(Ak) . A variety X such that X(Ak) 6= ∅ w...
