Does Lemma 5.4 in Deligne's Ramanujan paper generalize to Shimura varieties of PEL type?

It is generally not known if a smooth variety over a perfect field embeds into a smooth proper variety. Lemma 5.4 in Formes modulaires et représentations $\ell$-adiques provides such an embedding for ...

How can I "see" that a map is birational?

This came up with the Euler brick. Let $T=(p,q,r)$ be a Randall triple, i.e. $$(p^2-1)(q^2-1)(r^2-1)=8pqr\ \qquad\text{[eq.1]}.$$ There are tons of maps that map a triple $T$ to another $T'=(p',q',r')$...

Does there exist some $p(x) \in \mathbb{Q}[x]$, deg$(p) > 1$, which maps $\mathbb{Q}$ onto itself surjectively?

Clearly this is impossible for $p$ of even degree, and I imagine that Cardano’s formula quickly reveals it to be impossible in the cubic case, although I have not checked in detail. My guess is that ...
