Abstract

Let F(x1,...,xn)F(x_1,...,x_n) be a form of degree d2d\geq 2, which produces a geometrically irreducible hypersurface in Pn1\mathbb{P}^{n-1}. This paper is concerned with the number of rational points on F=0 which have height at most BB. Whenever n<6n<6, or whenever the hypersurface is not a union of lines, we obtain estimates that are essentially best possible and that are uniform in dd and nn.
