Differential descent obstructions over function fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We study a new obstruction to the existence of integral and rational points for algebraic varieties over function fields, the differential descent obstruction. We prove that that is the only obstruction to the existence of integral points in affine varieties in characteristic zero and also, in most cases, for rational points on curves in arbitrary characteristic.

Descent obstructions and Brauer-Manin obstruction in positive characteristic
We prove that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of integral points on affine varieties over global fields of positive characteristic p. More precisely, we show that the only obstructions come from étale covers of exponent p or, alternatively, from flat covers coming from torsors under connected group schemes of exponent p.
متن کاملAnabelian geometry and descent obstructions on moduli spaces
We study the section conjecture of anabelian geometry and the sufficiency of the finite descent obstruction to the Hasse principle for the moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties and of curves over number fields. For the former we show that both the section conjecture and the finite descent obstruction fail in a very controlled way. For the latter, we prove some partial results...

We prove that a form of finite Galois descent obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of integral points on integral models of twists of modular curves over function fields.
متن کاملA Weil Descent Attack against Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems over Quartic Extension Fields
This paper shows that many of elliptic curve cryptosystems over quartic extension fields of odd characteristics are reduced to genus two hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems over quadratic extension fields. Moreover, it shows that almost all of the genus two hyperelliptic curve cryptosystems over quadratic extension fields of odd characteristics come under Weil descent attack. This means that many...
متن کاملFinite Descent Obstructions and Rational Points on Curves Draft
Let k be a number field and X a smooth projective k-variety. In this paper, we discuss the information obtainable from descent via torsors under finite k-group schemes on the location of the k-rational points on X within the adelic points. We relate finite descent obstructions to the Brauer-Manin obstruction; in particular, we prove that on curves, the Brauer set equals the set cut out by finit...
