Abstract

Let k be a number field and T a k-torus. Consider a family of torsors under T, i.e. a morphism f : X → ℙ1k from a projective, smooth k-variety X to ℙ1k, the generic fibre Xη → η of which is a smooth compactification of a principal homogeneous space under Tk η. We study the Brauer–Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and to weak approximation for X, assuming Schinzel's hypothesis. We generalise Wei's recent results [21]. Our results are unconditional if k = Q and all non-split fibres of f are defined over Q. We also establish an unconditional analogue of our main result for zero-cycles of degree 1.

Résumé

Soit k un corps de nombres et soit T un k-tore. Considérons une fibration en torseurs sous T, c'est-à-dire un morphisme f : X → ℙ1k d'une k-variété projective et lisse X vers ℙ1k tel que sa fibre générique Xη → η soit une compactification lisse d'un espace principal homogène sous Tk η. On étudie dans ce texte l'obstruction de Brauer-Manin au principe de Hasse et à l'approximation faible pour X, sous l'hypothèse de Schinzel. On généralise les résultats récents de Wei [21]. Nos résultats sont inconditionnels si k = Q et les fibres non-scindées de f sont définies sur Q. On établit également un analogue inconditionnel de notre résultat principal pour les zéro-cycles de degré 1.
