Colliot-Thélène's approximation conjecture for zero-cycles
Colliot-Thélène's approximation conjecture for zero-cycles
Let be a smooth, projective, geometrically integral variety of dimension over a number field . For each place of , write , let be the group of zero-cycles, and let be the set of places of . For an integer , a family has degree and is orthogonal to the Brauer group when its Brauer–Manin pairing with every element of is zero. Let be the modified étale cohomology group appearing in the local cycle class map.
Colliot-Thélène's approximation conjecture. If is a degree- family orthogonal to , then for every positive integer there exists a global zero-cycle of degree such that, at every place , the cycles and have the same image under
This is a stronger approximation statement than mere existence of a global zero-cycle: it requires simultaneous congruence in the local cycle-class groups for every modulus . The supplied source attributes the conjectural statements to Colliot-Thélène; no resolution status is given here.
