A Cohomological Obstruction to the Hasse Principle for Homogeneous Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
For a homogeneous space with connected or abelian stabilizer of a connected linear algebraic group defined over a number field, a cohomological obstruction to the Hasse principle is defined in terms of Galois hypercohomology with coefficients in a complex of two abelian algebraic groups. This obstruction is proved to be the only obstruction to the Hasse principle. It is proved that up to sign this cohomological obstruction coincides with the Brauer-Manin obstruction.

An Alternative Proof of Scheiderer's Theorem on the Hasse Principle for Principal Homogeneous Spaces
We give an alternative proof of the Hasse principle for principal homogeneous spaces de ned over elds of virtual cohomological dimension at most one which is based on a special decomposition of elements in Chevalley groups. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classi cation: Primary 20G10; Secondary 11E72, 12D15.
متن کاملImplications of the Hasse Principle for Zero Cycles of Degree One on Principal Homogeneous Spaces
Let k be a perfect field of virtual cohomological dimension ≤ 2. Let G be a connected linear algebraic group over k such that Gsc satisfies a Hasse principle over k. Let X be a principal homogeneous space under G over k. We show that if X admits a zero cycle of degree one, then X has a k-rational point. Introduction The following question of Serre [10, p. 192] is open in general. Q: Let k be a ...
متن کاملThe Brauer–manin Obstructions for Homogeneous Spaces with Connected or Abelian Stabilizer
In this paper we prove that for a homogeneous space of a connected algebraic group with connected stabilizer and for a homogeneous space of a simply connected group with abelian stabilizer, the Brauer–Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and weak approximation are the only ones. More precisely, let X be an algebraic variety over a number field k. The variety X is called a counter-example t...
متن کاملEffective Hasse principle for the intersection of two quadrics
We consider a smooth system of two homogeneous quadratic equations over Q in n > 13 variables. In this case, the Hasse principle is known to hold, thanks to the work of Mordell in 1959. The only local obstruction is over R. In this paper, we give an explicit algorithm to decide whether a nonzero rational solution exists and, if so, compute one.
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...
