DESCRIPTION:Anthony Várilly-Alvarado\, Tuesdays only\nIn this course we w
 ill survey classical and recent advances in the explicit study of failures
  of local-to-global principles on del Pezzo and K3 surfaces. Topics includ
 e: a review of geometric facts about these surfaces\; (potential) density 
 of rational points and unirationality results\; explicit techniques for th
 e computation of Picard and Brauer groups of these surfaces\; Brauer-Manin
  obstructions. Time permitting\, we will discuss these topics for Enriques
  surfaces (including étale-Brauer obstructions)\, by focusing on their K3
  double covers.
