Corestriction Principle in non-abelian Galois cohomology

This is a revision of a McMaster University preprint, with extension. In this paper we prove that over local or global fields of characteristic 0, the Corestriction Principle holds for kernel and image of all maps which are connecting maps in group cohomology and the groups of $R$-equivalences. Some related questions over arbitrary fields of characteristic 0 are also discussed. AMS Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): Primary 11E72, Secondary 18G50, 20G10

Weak approximation, Brauer and R-equivalence in algebraic groups over arithmetical fields

We prove some new relations between weak approximation and some rational equivalence relations (Brauer and R-equivalence) in algebraic groups over arithmetical fields. By using weak approximation and local - global approach, we compute completely the group of Brauer equivalence classes of connected linear algebraic groups over number fields, and also completely compute the group of R-equivalence classes of connected linear algebraic groups $G$, which either are defined over a totally imaginary number field, or contains no anisotropic almost simple factors of exceptional type $^{3,6}\D_4$, nor $\E_6$. We discuss some consequences derived from these, e.g., by giving some new criteria for weak approximation in algebraic groups over number fields, by indicating a new way to give examples of non stably rational algebraic groups over local fields and application to norm principle.

Rationality of almost simple algebraic groups

We prove the stable rationality of almost simple algebraic groups, the connected components of the Dynkin diagram of anisotropic kernel of which contain at most two vertices. The (stable) rationality of many isotropic almost simple groups with small anisotropic kernel and some related results over $p$-adic and arbitrary fields are discussed.
