Abstract: Admettant l'hypoth`ese de Schinzel et la finitude des groupes de Tate-Shafarevich des courbes elliptiques sur les corps de nombres, toute intersection lisse de deux quadriques dans l'espace projectif de dimension n satisfait au principe de Hasse si n>4. Le m^eme r'esultat vaut pour n=4, c'est-`a-dire pour les surfaces de del Pezzo de degr'e 4, lorsque le groupe de Brauer est r'eduit aux constantes et que la surface est suffisamment g'en'erale. ----- Assuming Schinzel's hypothesis and the finiteness of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves over number fields, smooth intersections of two quadrics in n-dimensional projective space satisfy the Hasse principle if n>4. The same result holds for n=4, i.e., for del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4, provided the Brauer group is reduced to constants and the surface is sufficiently general.

Review text

Let \(k\) be a number field. An algebraic variety \(X\) over \(k\) satisfies Hasse's principle if \(X(k_v)\neq\emptyset\) for all places \(v\) of \(k\) implies \(X(k)\neq\emptyset\). The author announces that smooth intersections of two quadrics in \(n\)-dimensional projective space satisfy the Hasse principle if \(n\geq 5\), assuming Schinzel's hypothesis and the finiteness of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves over number fields. The same result holds for \(n=4\), i.e., for del Pezzo surfaces of degree \(4\), provided the Brauer group is reduced to constants and the surface is sufficiently general. Detailed proofs will be presented elsewhere.
