Abstract We refine a previous construction by Akhtari and Bhargava so that, for every positive integer m, we obtain a positive proportion of Thue equations F(x, y) = h that fail the integral Hasse principle simultaneously for every positive integer h less than m. The binary forms F have fixed degree ≥ 3 and are ordered by the absolute value of the maximum of the coefficients.

Over infinitely many number fields [Formula: see text] (including all finite Galois extensions [Formula: see text] of odd degree unramified at 2), we give general sufficient conditions in order for the generalised Châtelet surfaces [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] associated to the normic equation [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] has a specific form and [Formula: see text] is even and arbitrarily large, to have the property that [Formula: see text] but [Formula: see text]. We also give general sufficient conditions in order for the generalised Châtelet surfaces [Formula: see text] over [Formula: see text] of the same form as above to have the property that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. As an application, we prove that, for a certain family of generalised Châtelet surfaces over [Formula: see text], a positive proportion (but not 100[Formula: see text]) of its members exhibits a violation of the Hasse principle explained by the Brauer–Manin obstruction.

We investigate a family of Châtelet surfaces over [Formula: see text] and develop an asymptotic formula for the frequency of Hasse principle failures. We show that a positive proportion (roughly 23.7%) of such surfaces fails the Hasse principle, by building on previous work of De La Bretèche and Browning.

AbstractErdős and Odlyzko proved that odd integers k such that k2n+1 is prime for some positive integer n have a positive lower density. In this paper, we characterize all arithmetic progressions in which natural numbers that can be expressed in the form (p−1)2−n (where p is a prime number) have a positive proportion. We also prove that an arithmetic progression consisting of odd numbers can be obtained from a covering system if and only if those integers in such a progression which can be expressed in the form (p−1)2−n have an asymptotic density of zero.
