“…The method of [CSan82] was extended to number fields and generalised in various directions by Serre (see [Serre], Ch. II, Annexe), Swinnerton-Dyer (see [Sw94], [Sw09] and references in that paper), Colliot-Thélène and others [CSw94,CSkSw98a,W07,Wei12]. In this note we show that when the ground field is Q and the degenerate geometric fibres of the pencil are all defined over Q, one can apply the methods of the aforementioned papers to obtain unconditional results by using the theorem of Green, Tao and Ziegler in place of Schinzel's Hypothesis (H).…”
