Transcendental Obstructions to Weak Approximation on General K3 Surfaces
We construct an explicit K3 surface over the field of rational numbers that has geometric Picard rank one, and for which there is a transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. To do so, we exploit the relationship between polarized K3 surfaces endowed with particular kinds of Brauer classes and cubic fourfolds.
متن کاملEffectivity of Brauer–manin Obstructions on Surfaces
We study Brauer–Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and to weak approximation on algebraic surfaces over number fields. A technique for constructing Azumaya algebra representatives of Brauer group elements is given, and this is applied to the computation of obstructions.
متن کاملBrauer groups on K 3 surfaces and arithmetic applications
For a prime p, we study subgroups of order p of the Brauer group Br(S) of a general complex polarized K3 surface of degree 2d, generalizing earlier work of van Geemen. These groups correspond to sublattices of index p of the transcendental lattice TS of S; we classify these lattices up to isomorphism using Nikulin’s discriminant form technique. We then study geometric realizations of p-torsion ...
متن کاملThe arithmetic of certain del Pezzo surfaces and K3 surfaces
We construct del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4 violating the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. Using these del Pezzo surfaces, we show that there are algebraic families of K3 surfaces violating the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. Various examples are given.
متن کاملTate-Shafarevich groups and K3 surfaces
This paper explores a topic taken up recently by Logan and van Luijk, finding nontrivial 2-torsion elements of the Tate-Shafarevich group of the Jacobian of a genus-2 curve by exhibiting Brauer-Manin obstructions to rational points on certain quotients of principal homogeneous spaces of the Jacobian, whose desingularizations are explicit K3 surfaces. The main difference between the methods used...
