Venue: Mathematics and Science Center, Room W303
There has been a great deal of recent research on the arithmetic of K3 surfaces, some of which has centered around the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle. In this talk, I'll give some background and discuss some of the results and open questions in this area.
