Weak approximation over function fields of curves over large or finite fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let K=k(C) be the function field of a curve over a field k and let X be a smooth, projective, separably rationally connected K-variety with X(K)eqemptyset. Under the assumption that X admits a smooth projective model pi:mathcalXoC, we prove the following weak approximation results: (1) if k is a large field, then X(K) is Zariski dense; (2) if k is an infinite algebraic extension of a finite field, then X satisfies weak approximation at places of good reduction; (3) if k is a nonarchimedean local field and R-equivalence is trivial on one of the fibers mathcalXp over points of good reduction, then there is a Zariski dense subset WsubseteqC(k) such that X satisfies weak approximation at places in W. As applications of the methods, we also obtain the following results over a finite field k: (4) if |k|>10, then for a smooth cubic hypersurface X/K, the specialization map X(K)longrightarrowprodpinPmathcalXp(kappa(p)) at finitely many points of good reduction is surjective; (5) if mathrmcharkeq2,3 and |k|>47, then a smooth cubic surface X over K satisfies weak approximation at any given place of good reduction.
