Stoll's very good curves conjecture

Let kk be a number field, and let CC be a smooth projective geometrically connected curve over kk. In the paper, a curve is very good when its finite descent obstructions account precisely for the rational points, in the sense defined earlier. Stoll's very good curves conjecture. Every such curve CC is very good. The conjecture is motivated by the many known examples of higher-genus curves that are excellent with respect to abelian coverings, including positive-genus modular curves. Its general validity is left open.
