The weak weak approximation conjecture for smooth unirational varieties

About 1 year old · traced to

Let KK be a number field. A KK-variety XX satisfies weak weak approximation (WWA) if there is a finite set S0S_0 of places of KK such that, for every finite set S1S_1 of places disjoint from S0S_0, the diagonal image of X(K)X(K) is dense in ∏v∈S1X(Kv)\prod_{v\in S_1}X(K_v). A variety XX has the Hilbert property (HP) when it admits a Hilbertian set of rational points in the sense used in the paper. Weak weak approximation conjecture. Every smooth unirational variety over a number field satisfies WWA, and consequently has HP. This conjecture predicts that the approximation properties of affine space extend to all smooth unirational varieties.
