Weak approximation and rationally connected varieties over function fields of curves

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This is a survey of weak approximation over complex function fields, touching on the Koll'ar-Miyaoka-Mori theorem, places of good and bad reduction, the special case of rational surfaces, rationally simply connected varieties, and applications to low-degree complete intersections.


This is a survey about weak approximations for rationally connected varieties over the function field of a complex curve.NEWLINENEWLINEThe author discusses general properties of weak approximation over function fields of a curve, and proves some partial results supporting his conjecture (with Y. Tschinkel) that weak approximation always holds for rationally connected varieties over the function field of a curve.NEWLINENEWLINEAmong the results proved in the survey are the followings: weak approximation at places of good reduction, for low degree hypersurfaces (at all places) and rationally simply connected varieties (at all places).NEWLINENEWLINEIn the appendix, the author discusses some properties of stable maps used in the proof.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1237.14006].
