The conditional Brauer–Manin conjecture for Kummer surfaces

Let kk be a number field and let XX be a Kummer surface over kk. A 2-covering associated to XX means one of the 2-coverings of the abelian surfaces associated to XX. Kummer-surface Brauer–Manin conjecture. If the 2-primary part of the Brauer–Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle is the only obstruction for all 2-coverings associated to XX, then the same is true for XX. The source explains that successful applications of Swinnerton-Dyer's method establish cases of this conjecture unconditionally, while the general assertion remains open.
