0 Fe b 20 09 THE HASSE PRINCIPLE FOR CHÂTELET SURFACES IN CHARACTERISTIC 2

چکیده
Given any global field k of characteristic 2, we construct a Châtelet surface over k which fails to satisfy the Hasse principle. This failure is due to a Brauer-Manin obstruction. This construction extends a result of Poonen to characteristic 2, thereby showing that the étale-Brauer obstruction is insufficient to explain all failures of the Hasse principle over a global field of any characteristic.

Failure of the Hasse principle for Châtelet surfaces in characteristic 2

متن کاملHigher Dimensional Analogues of Châtelet Surfaces
We discuss the geometry and arithmetic of higher-dimensional analogues of Châtelet surfaces; namely, we describe the structure of their Brauer and Picard groups and show that they can violate the Hasse principle. In addition, we use these varieties to give straightforward generalizations of two recent results of Poonen. Specifically, we prove that, assuming Schinzel’s hypothesis, the non-m powe...

متن کاملCertain K3 Surfaces Parametrized by the Fibonacci Sequence Violate the Hasse Principle
For a prime p ≡ 5 (mod 8) satisfying certain conditions, we show that there exist an infinitude of K3 surfaces parameterized by certain solutions to Pell’s equation X2 − pY 2 = 4 in the projective 5-space that are counterexamples to the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction. Further, these surfaces contain no zero-cycle of odd degree over Q. As an illustration for the main r...
