Density of polynomials which are soluble with respect to a set of primes
It should be quite possible to obtain an asymptotic formula for this using standard lattice point counting and sieve techniques.
First consider the following simpler problem: Let $p$ be a prime and l …

Rational solutions of $x^2 + y^2 = z (z^2 - 1)$
Consider the corresponding projective surface $$S : x^2w + y^2w = z(z^2 - w^2).$$
No one has mentioned so far that this is surface singular, and singular cubic surfaces are rather special. It has two …

What is the set of possible densities of pointless members in a family of rational curves ov...
Edit: I have clarified a bit more the relationship between conic bundles and quaternion algebras and the relationship to weak approximation, and tidied up some typos.
I have myself recently started s …

Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture in positive characteristic
Edit: This answer addresses an earlier version of the question, where the OP asked whether or not BSD made sense for elliptic curves over finite fields. It also however answers the current question.

What are the truly 'global methods' in number theory?
This is quite a brief answer as I am not quite sure your question is appropriately phrased for this site, but one can use the "Brauer-Manin obstruction" to show the non-existence of rational points, e …

A question on BSD conjecture
Yes.
This follows from the fact that BSD is invariant under Weil restriction and isogeny (the Weil restriction of $E/K$ to $\mathbb{Q}$ is isogenous to the product of $E$ with its quadratic twist).

Pólya–Vinogradov over number fields
Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character of modulus $q$. The classical Pólya–Vinogradov theorem states that
$$\sum_{n \leq x} \chi(n) \leq q^{1/2} \log q.$$
Let now $K$ be a number field of d …

Twists of cubic threefolds
Let k be a field of characteristic $0$.
Let $X$ be a variety over k which is isomorphic to a smooth cubic threefold over $\bar{k}$. Then is $X$ isomorphic to a smooth cubic threefold over $k$ …

Conics, rational points and probability
Problems of this type are considered by Serre in the paper:
Serre - Spécialisation des éléments de $\mathrm{Br}_2(\mathbb{Q}(T_1,\ldots, T_n))$
The case relevant to you is Exemple 4. Here Serre show …

A certain invariant of non-singular algebraic surfaces
I will explain what happens in the case of cubic surfaces. As is well known, any smooth cubic surface over an algebraically closed field contains $27$ lines. For the generic cubic surface over $\mathb …

Equation with norms of cyclic extensions of coprime degrees
Yes, this follows from the fact that the degrees of $\mathbb{K}$ and $\mathbb{L}$ are coprime.
The result follows from a simple application of Bezout's identity and the fact that, for an extension $k …

Divergent Series as a topic of research
In some respects the theory of divergent series is still a very important part of number theory.
A large part of number theory concerns the study of Dirichlet series

Sum of Fibonacci sequence evaluated at a Dirichlet character
Let $F_n$ be the Fibonacci sequence and $\chi$ a non-principal primitive Dirichlet character. Does there exist $n$ such that $\chi(F_n) \neq 0,1$?
One way to prove this would be to obtain non-trivial …

$H^1$ and fractional ideals group
This vanishing is very different from Hilbert's theorem 90. I will only sketch a proof as it is rather standard and it will be good for you to fill in the details.

odd degree $0$-cycles and rational points on a quadric hypersurface
Yes. It was a conjecture of Witt, proved by Springer, that a quadric hypersurface, over a field of characteristic not equal to $2$, has a rational point if and only if it has a point over a field exte …
