The local-global equality conjecture for varieties over global function fields

Let KK be a global function field over a finite field kk of positive characteristic, let SS be a finite set of places of KK, and let ΓOS\Gamma\subset O_S^* be a subgroup. Fix a cofinite subset ΣΣK\Sigma\subset\Sigma_K, and let WW be a closed KK-variety in AM\mathbb A^M. Writing W(Γ)W(\overline{\Gamma}) for the points of WW whose coordinates lie in the product of the local closures of Γ\Gamma, and W(Γ)\overline{W(\Gamma)} for the topological closure of the diagonal image of W(Γ)W(\Gamma), local-global equality conjecture.

W(Γ)=W(Γ).W(\overline{\Gamma})=\overline{W(\Gamma)}.

This conjecture asks whether local points obtained by independently taking limits of Γ\Gamma-coordinates are exactly the limits of global Γ\Gamma-points on every closed variety over KK. The supplied text does not state whether the equality is known or remains open.
