Finite abelian descent VSA conjecture for the thrice-punctured projective line

Let kk be a number field and let \poneminusthreepointsk\poneminusthreepoints_k denote the thrice-punctured projective line over kk. VSA for (\fab,f,k)(\fab,f,k) is the finite abelian descent property used in the paper, and A(\fab,f,k)A(\fab,f,k) is the associated obstruction property. Finite abelian descent conjecture for the thrice-punctured projective line. The variety \poneminusthreepointsk\poneminusthreepoints_k is VSA for (\fab,f,k)(\fab,f,k), and consequently A(\fab,f,k)A(\fab,f,k) holds for any number field kk. The preceding proposition establishes that its rational points are closed in the finite adelic points; the conjecture would provide the corresponding VSA statement over every number field.
