Non-split fibre conjecture for families of varieties
Non-split fibre conjecture for families of varieties
Let be a number field, let satisfy the stated assumptions, and let be an anticanonical height function on . Let be a non-singular proper faithfully flat morphism with geometrically integral generic fibre and reduced fibres over codimension-one points. Assume that is Zariski dense and that, outside a Zariski closed subset of , all fibres satisfy the Hasse principle. Call a fibre non-split if it does not contain a geometrically integral open subscheme. Non-split fibre conjecture. There exists a codimension-one point whose fibre is non-split if and only if, for every sufficiently small Zariski open subset ,
The conjecture proposes that the quantitative scarcity of rational fibres is governed by non-split codimension-one fibres. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
