Failure of the Hasse principle for Châtelet surfaces in characteristic 2
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 24 (2012) no. 1, pp. 231-236.

Soit k un corps global de caractéristique 2. On construit une surface de Châtelet sur k possédant une obstruction de Brauer-Manin au principe de Hasse. Cette construction étend un résultat de Poonen à la caractéristique 2, en montrant ainsi que l’obstruction de Brauer-Manin après revêtement fini étale n’est pas suffisante pour expliquer tous les contre-exemples au principe de Hasse sur un corps global arbitraire.

Given any global field k of characteristic 2, we construct a Châtelet surface over k that fails to satisfy the Hasse principle. This failure is due to a Brauer-Manin obstruction. This construction extends a result of Poonen to characteristic 2, thereby showing that the étale-Brauer obstruction is insufficient to explain all failures of the Hasse principle over a global field of any characteristic.
