I'm looking for references that can justify to what extent is the following statement true:
Statement. Let $X$ be a smooth geometrically integral curve over a number field $k$. Then the Brauer-Manin ...

Existence of a curve with no points over finite separable field extensions
Does there exist a field $K$, and a smooth projective geometrically connected curve $C$ over $K$ such that, for all finite separable field extensions $L/K$ the curve $C$ has no $L$-rational points?
I ...

Computing the genus of a plane curve
Let $b(x)=x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 1$, and let $a(x)\in \mathbb Z[x]$ be a separable polynomial. Let $C$ be the plane curve defined by $(y^2+(x+x^2+x^3)a(x))^2-a(x)^2b(x)=0$. I would need to show that ...
