B. Poonen a récemment exhibé des exemples de variétés projectives et lisses de dimension 3 sur un corps de nombres qui n’ont pas de point rationnel et pour lesquelles il n’y a pas d’obstruction de Brauer–Manin après revêtement fini étale. Je montre que les variétés qu’il construit possèdent des zéro-cycles de degré 1.
In a previous article we studied the spectrum of the Zhang-Zagier height [2]. The progress we made stood on an algorithm that produced polynomials with a small height. In this paper we describe a new algorithm that provides even smaller heights. It allows us to find a limit point less than i.e. better than the previous one, namely . After some definitions we detail the principle of the algorithm, the results it gives and the construction that leads to this new limit point.
