چکیده
We introduce a new obstruction to weak approximation related to non-abelian coverings of a proper and smooth variety X deened over a number eld k. It provides some counterexamples to weak approximation which are not accounted for by the Manin obstruction, for example bielliptic surfaces. 0. Introduction Let X be a smooth and proper algebraic variety over a number eld k and k be the set of places of k. Recall (cf. CT/San87], Sko98]) that X is a counterexample to the Hasse principle if the set X(A k) := Q v2 k X(k v) of adelic points of X is non-empty, but the set X(k) of k-rational points of X is empty. A k-variety X (such that X(k) 6 = ;) satisses weak approximation if X(k) is dense in X(A k) (equipped with the product of the v-adic topologies). It satisses weak approximation outside S (where S is a nite set of places of k) if X(k) is dense in X(A S k) := Q v6 2S X(k v). In his talk at the ICM in 1970 ((Ma70]), Manin deened an obstruction to the Hasse principle, the so-called Brauer-Manin obstruction. A similar obstruction to weak approximation was later deened by Colliot-Th el ene and Sansuc (cf. CT/San87], section 3). Those obstructions are related to the Brauer group BrX of X (we shall recall their precise deenitions in 1.3.). For a long time, all known counterexamples to the Hasse principle and to weak 1

Triple factorization of non-abelian groups by two maximal subgroups
The triple factorization of a group $G$ has been studied recently showing that $G=ABA$ for some proper subgroups $A$ and $B$ of $G$, the definition of rank-two geometry and rank-two coset geometry which is closely related to the triple factorization was defined and calculated for abelian groups. In this paper we study two infinite classes of non-abelian finite groups $D_{2n}$ and $PSL(2,2^{n})$...
متن کاملFirst non-abelian cohomology of topological groups II
In this paper we introduce a new definition of the first non-abelian cohomology of topological groups. We relate the cohomology of a normal subgroup $N$ of a topological group $G$ and the quotient $G/N$ to the cohomology of $G$. We get the inflation-restriction exact sequence. Also, we obtain a seven-term exact cohomology sequence up to dimension 2. We give an interpretation of the first non-a...
متن کاملOn non-normal non-abelian subgroups of finite groups
In this paper we prove that a finite group $G$ having at most three conjugacy classes of non-normal non-abelian proper subgroups is always solvable except for $Gcong{rm{A_5}}$, which extends Theorem 3.3 in [Some sufficient conditions on the number of non-abelian subgroups of a finite group to be solvable, Acta Math. Sinica (English Series) 27 (2011) 891--896.]. Moreover, we s...
متن کاملFinite $p$-groups and centralizers of non-cyclic abelian subgroups
A $p$-group $G$ is called a $mathcal{CAC}$-$p$-group if $C_G(H)/H$ is cyclic for every non-cyclic abelian subgroup $H$ in $G$ with $Hnleq Z(G)$. In this paper, we give a complete classification of finite $mathcal{CAC}$-$p$-groups.
متن کاملPairwise non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute. In this paper we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup.
