Global descent obstructions for varieties

arXiv:0907.3586 · doi:10.2140/ant.2011.5.431

Abstract

We show how to transport descent obstructions from the category of covers to the category of varieties. We deduce examples of curves having $\QQ$ as field of moduli, that admit models over every completion of $\QQ$, but have no model over $\QQ$.
