Let K be the function field of a p-adic curve, a field of cohomological dimension 3. If X is a smooth geometrically integral K-variety, we are interested in the following arithmetic questions for X:
- Local-global principle (LGP): If X has K_v-points for all closed points on a smooth projective model of K, does X have K-points?
- Weak approximation (WA): If X has K-points, is X(K) dense in the topological product of the X(K_v)’s?
Generalizing the Brauer-Manin obstruction over number fields, we may use the group H^3_nr(X, Q/Z(2)) of unramified degree 3 cohomology to detect the failure of LGP and WA (“reciprocity obstruction”). It is natural to ask if this obstruction is the only one. Using global duality Poitou-Tate style duality theorem and parts of Poitou-Tate sequences, Harari, Scheiderer, Szamuely, and Izquierdo provided the positive answer for tori. Tian established the same result for certain reductive groups. In my talk, I shall present similar results for homogeneous spaces of SLn with geometric stabilizers of type umult (extension of a group of multiplicative type by a unipotent group), obtained by the same techniques. This is my latest preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.08986.
