For an elliptic curve $E$ over a local field $K$ and a separable quadratic extension of $K$, motivated by connections to the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, Kramer and Tunnell have conjectured a formula for computing the local root number of the base change of $E$ to the quadratic extension in terms of a certain norm index. The formula is known in all cases except some where $K$ is of characteristic $2$, and we complete its proof by reducing the positive characteristic case to characteristic $0$. For this reduction, we exploit the principle that local fields of characteristic $p$ can be approximated by finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$: we find an elliptic curve $E^{\prime }$ defined over a $p$-adic field such that all the terms in the Kramer–Tunnell formula for $E^{\prime }$ are equal to those for $E$.

AbstractLet J be a Jacobian variety with toric reduction over a local field K. Let J → E be an optimal quotient defined over K, where E is an elliptic curve. We give examples in which the functorially induced map on component groups of the Néron models is not surjective. This answers a question of Ribet and Takahashi. We also give various criteria under which is surjective and discuss when these criteria hold for the Jacobians of modular curves.

AbstractLetkbe a number field andTak-torus. Consider a family of torsors underT, i.e. a morphismf:X→ ℙ1kfrom a projective, smoothk-varietyXto ℙ1k, the generic fibreXη→ η of which is a smooth compactification of a principal homogeneous space underT⊗kη. We study the Brauer–Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and to weak approximation forX, assuming Schinzel's hypothesis. We generalise Wei's recent results [21]. Our results are unconditional ifk=Qand all non-split fibres offare defined overQ. We also establish an unconditional analogue of our main result for zero-cycles of degree 1.
