Added the reference to Skorobogatov.
Jan 11, 2010 at 4:13 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat @Felipe : You are right. It is perhaps expected to be true for curves of genus >1.
Jan 10, 2010 at 15:13 comment added Felipe Voloch @Chandan This has not been proved for curves, only for torsors of abelian varieties.

Jan 10, 2010 at 13:26 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat Strictly speaking, there is no obstruction whatsoever to the existence of rational point on an abelian variety : the origin is a rational point ! What you have in mind is that if C is smooth projective curve of genus >0 with jacobian J, or if C is a torsor under an abelian variety J, everything being defined over some number field K, and if C has K_v-points at every place v of K, then the Manin obstruction to the existence of a K-point is the only one as long as Sha(J) is finite.
