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.

Anabelian 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...
متن کاملDifferential descent obstructions over function fields
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.
متن کاملAn Extension of GHS Weil Descent Attack
The Weil descent attack, suggested by Frey, has been implemented by Gaudry, Hess and Smart (the so-called GHS attack), on elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two of composite degrees. The GHS attack has been extended by Galbraith to hyperelliptic curves of characteristic two. Recently, Diem presented a general treatment of GHS attack to hyperelliptic curves over finite fields o...
متن کاملOn Security of Superelliptic Curves Based Cryptosystems against GHS Weil Descent Attacks
The GHS Weil descent attack by Gaudry, Hess and Smart was originally proposed to elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic two [11]. Among a number of extensions of this attack, Diem treated the cases of hyperelliptic curves over finite fields of arbitrary odd characteristics [4]. His results were partially extended to algebraic curves of which the function fields are cyclic Galois e...
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...
