Quadratic polynomials represented by norm forms

Let P(t) ∈ ℚ[t] be an irreducible quadratic polynomial and suppose that K is a quartic extension of ℚ containing the roots of P(t). Let N K/ℚ(X) be a full norm form for the extension K/ℚ. We show that the variety P(t) =N K/ℚ(X)≠ 0 satisfies the Hasse principle and weak approximation. The proof uses...
