Hassett–Tschinkel weak approximation conjecture for rationally connected varieties

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, let BB be a smooth projective algebraic kk-curve, and let FF be its function field. A proper rationally connected variety is a variety that is proper and rationally connected over FF.

Hassett–Tschinkel's weak approximation conjecture. Proper rationally connected varieties defined over FF satisfy weak approximation.

This conjecture concerns the arithmetic of rationally connected varieties over function fields of curves. It was proposed by Hassett and Tschinkel and is presented here as motivation for studying analogous questions for separably A1\mathbb{A}^1-connected varieties; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
