Abstract

A variety X over a field Κ is of Hilbert type if X(Κ) is not thin. We prove that if f : X → S is a dominant morphism of Κ-varieties and both S and all fibers f-1(s), s ∈ S(Κ), are of Hilbert type, then so is X. We apply this to answer a question of Serre on products of varieties and to generalize a result of Colliot-Thélène and Sansuc on algebraic groups.
