Non-reflexive curves
In this paper we prove some non-solvable base change for Hilbert modular representations, and we use this result to show the meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane of the zeta functions of some twisted quaternionic Shimura varieties. The zeta functions of the twisted quaternionic Shimura varieties are computed at all places.
We give an infinite family of curves of genus 2 whose Jacobians have non-trivial members of the Tate-Shafarevich group for descent via Richelot isogeny. We prove this by performing a descent via Richelot isogeny and a complete 2-descent on the isogenous Jacobian. We also give an explicit model of an associated family of surfaces which violate the Hasse principle.
In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic -Cartier divisors of -type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic -Cartier divisor of -type is nef if and only if is pseudo-effective and .
Let X be a nice variety over a number field k. We characterise in pure “descent-type” terms some inequivalent obstruction sets refining the inclusion . In the first part, we apply ideas from the proof of by Skorobogatov and Demarche to new cases, by proving a comparison theorem for obstruction sets. In the second part, we show that if are such that , then . This allows us to conclude, among other things, that and .
Si un système d’équations polynomiales à coefficients entiers admet une solution dans , il en admet sur tout complété -adique ou réel de . La réciproque a été démontrée par Hasse pour les quadriques, mais elle est fausse en général. Une grande partie des contre-exemples connus peuvent être expliqués à l’aide de l’obstruction de Brauer-Manin, basée sur la théorie du corps de classe. Il est donc naturel de se demander si, pour certaines classes de variétés, cette obstruction est la seule. Le but...
Let be a family of elliptic curves over , where is a positive integer and , are distinct odd primes. We study the torsion part and the rank of . More specifically, we prove that the torsion subgroup of is trivial and the -rank of this family is at least 2, whenever , and with neither nor dividing .
