Cubic points on cubic curves and the Brauer-Manin obstruction on K3 surfaces
For any abelian variety J over a global field k and an isogeny ϕ: J → J, the Selmer group is a subgroup of the Galois cohomology group , defined in terms of local data. When J is the Jacobian of a cyclic cover of ℙ¹ of prime degree p, the Selmer group has a quotient by a subgroup of order at most p that is isomorphic to the ‘fake Selmer group’, whose definition is more amenable to explicit computations. In this paper we define in the same setting the ‘explicit Selmer group’, which is isomorphic...
