The arithmetic of certain quartic curves (Q5916113)

Generalizing classical results due to [\textit{C.-E. Lind}, Untersuchungen über die rationalen Punkte der ebenen kubischen Kurven vom Geschlecht Eins. Uppsala: Diss. 97 S. (1940; Zbl 0025.24802; JFM 66.0131.04)] and \textit{H. Reichardt} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 184, 12--18 (1942; Zbl 0026.29701; JFM 68.0070.01)], the author studies the local-global principle for curves of genus \(1\) defined by quartics \(X: dz^2 = x^4 + 2hp\,\Omega x^2 + p 0,\Omega(h^2p\,\Omega-1)\), where \(p\equiv 1 \bmod 8\) is prime and \(h\) and \(\Omega\) are integers satisfying additional conditions. By explicit calculations it is shown that the violation of Hasse principle for certain families of such quartics can be explained by the Brauer-Manin obstruction.
