Given a smooth projective geometrically connected variety X over a number field k, we say that X fails the Hasse principle if it has adelic points but no k-rational points. In this thesis, we account for this failure by studying obstructions via finite descent, and compare them with the well-known Brauer-Manin obstruction.

Abstract

Given a smooth projective geometrically connected variety X over a number field k, we say that X fails the Hasse principle if it has adelic points but no k-rational points. In this thesis, we account for this failure by studying obstructions via finite descent, and compare them with the well-known Brauer-Manin obstruction.
