The Grunwald problem and approximation properties for homogeneous spaces
Given a group and a number field , the Grunwald problem asks whether
given field extensions of completions of at finitely many places can be
approximated by a single field extension of with Galois group G. This can
be viewed as the case of constant groups in the more general problem of
determining for which -groups the variety has weak
approximation. We show that away from an explicit set of bad places both
problems have an affirmative answer for iterated semidirect products with
abelian kernel. Furthermore, we give counterexamples to both assertions at bad
places. These turn out to be the first examples of transcendental Brauer-Manin
obstructions to weak approximation for homogeneous spaces.Comment: 18 pages. Final version. Accepted for publication in Annales de

On ratios of Petersson norms for Yoshida lifts
We prove an algebraicity property for a certain ratio of Petersson norms
associated to a Siegel cusp form of degree 2 (and arbitrary level) whose
adelization generates a weak endoscopic lift. As a preparation for this, we
explicate various features of the correspondence between scalar valued Siegel
cusp forms of degree n and automorphic representations on GSp_{2n}.Comment: Several minor changes; 34 page
Regularity of weak solutions to rate-independent systems in one-dimension
We show that under some appropriate assumptions, every weak solution (e.g.
energetic solution) to a given rate-independent system is of class SBV, or has fi�nite jumps, or is even piecewise C1. Our assumption is essentially imposed on the energy functional, but not convexity is required
