Obstructions to arithmetic properties of rational points on varieties

The aim of this thesis is to develop further the theory of obstruction sets, which is used in the study of the arithmetic behaviour of rational points on nice varieties over number fields. Let X be a nice variety over a number field k. In the first part of this thesis, we characterise in pure descen...
