The Hasse principle for complete intersections in projective space

From MaRDI portal





The main object of the paper under review is a smooth, projective, geometrically integral algebraic variety \(X\) defined over a number field \(K\). The author is interested in constructing counter-examples to the Hasse principle which cannot be explained by the Brauer--Manin obstruction, nor by its ``non-abelian generalization due to Skorobogatov and Harari. As in an earlier paper by \textit{P.~Sarnak} and \textit{L.~Wang} [C.~R.~Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 321, 319--322 (1995; Zbl 0857.14013)], where this problem was related to Lang's conjecture, the author assumes the existence of a \(d\)-dimensional complete intersection \(X\) in \({\mathbb P}^n\) (\(d\geq 3\)) such that \(X(K)\) is non-empty and its Zariski closure has codimension \(\geq 2\) in \(X\). He proves that under this assumption there exists a 3-dimensional complete intersection \(X'\) in \({\mathbb P}^n\) which is a counter-example to the Hasse principle not accounted for by the above mentioned obstructions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0974.00037].
