Poonen–Stoll conjecture on rational points on genus-two curves

About 16 years old · traced to

Consider the density obtained by ordering genus-two curves of the form y2=f(x)y^2=f(x), where f=f6x6+⋯+f1x+f0∈Z[x]f=f_6x^6+\dots+f_1x+f_0\in{\mathbb Z}[x], by the condition max⁡{∣fj∣}≤N\max\{|f_j|\}\leq N, and letting NN tend to infinity. Poonen–Stoll conjecture. The density of curves of genus 22 with rational points is 0%0\%. The source contrasts this with the approximately 8484–85%85\% density of such curves having points everywhere locally, so the conjecture asserts that the Hasse principle fails for almost all curves in this ordering.
