Weak approximation for homogeneous spaces: reduction to the case with finite stabilizer

Abstract

We reduce the question about whether the Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation for homogeneous spaces is the only obstruction to the "simpler" question of the particular case of homogeneous spaces of $\mathrm{SL}_n$ with finite stabilizer. We also give unconditional results based on the few known results on finite stabilizers.
