Saito's result that the Brauer-Manin obstruction for zero-cycles of degree 1 is the only one for curves, supposing the finiteness of the Tate-Shafarevich-group $\\sha^1(A)$ of the Jacobian variety. In fact we show that we only need a conjecturally finite part of the Brauer-group for this obstruction to be the only one. We also comment on the situation in higher dimensions", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-02-16T15:54:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G30", "16K50", "14L10" ], "keywords": [ "brauer-manin obstruction", "zero-cycles", "short elementary proof", "conjecturally finite part", "jacobian variety" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......2355E" } } }
